Charting the structure of a website, software?

[amused]

LMGTFY.com?

Heh

Be very fucking careful when touching the site via ftp because you can do a lot of damage very easily.

Frankly, I'd rather do the structure on my PC if at all possible. Can filezilla read a PC?

Yes, it will open two windows, one on your pc and one at the remote site. Ideally, both sides are identical, and you can drag and drop from one to the other.

Sorry, malf'd question. Can I read the structure of a folder on my PC with filezilla?

On the left is your PC, and on the right is the server you've just connected to by FTP:

Okay, not what I'm looking for. (I have fireftp, btw.)

what I want is something the will generate a file tree(?).

Do you mean something that will generate a description or map of the file/floder structure, or something that will generate a sitemap.... ie. a map of the hyperlinks/pages of the site and how they are connected?

Uh, yeah, that. I have twenty two folders at the top level, and 400+ folders total, so something automatic would be very fucking nice for me to understand Patrick's site structure. I'm eventually going to have add files and they have to go in the right places or chaos(er) will result. Plus, right now I'm snipe hunting, and that's tedious when you have to open every fracking folder individually.

Even a DOS command that would send output to a file would help.

There is a DOS command called TREE that will print the directory structure for you: http://www.computerhope.com/treehlp.htm

That'll help you get an understanding of the overall structure.

I'd recommend downloading a copy of Komodo Edit if you plan on editing any of these files in a text editor. It's probably the best I've found and it'll help you treat the whole thing as a project rather than just a load of files.

Thanks, Pappa! May all your problems be little ones.
