How to create a file tree on hosting that is available to the public?

Question

HTML

I often saw how on some sites there are generated pages where you can rummage through the folders in a list in the form of a tree and download the files that are there.
Is it exclusively browser-based generation or is it possible to generate such pages somehow yourself?
There is a regular hosting, which will have a large number of photos arranged in folders. I want to be able to go to the subdomain where they are, and just see a list of folders and files in the form of links. Are there such generators? And if so, what are they called?

Answer 1

This is built into the standard functionality of the apache web server.
If there is no index.php in the directory (html, shtml, etc., configured as an index), and mod_rewrite is not configured, plus this is not prohibited by Apache settings, it produces a standard tree of directories and files. The same is true for the underlying folders.
If you yourself cannot / do not know how to configure a web server - try contacting a hoster / knowledgeable people. But first you can check
Also, I want to pay attention - many CMS include a check for the absence of an index file, and give out their main page.

Answer 2

Throw files into a folder on the server, for example, into the /down/ directory,
do not lie the index file (index.php, index,html, etc)
Write in this folder in htaccess
, now you can go to the browser at http://website/your-folder /
