>>Seems I saw somewhere where one could get to a website via an HTTP:// URL (as opposed to FTP) and issue a DIR *.* command (or something like it) and get the directory of the URL in an array that could be searched. Then we could selectively use an api to download selected files in the dir from the site.

The sites that we are working with allow us to retrieve a directory of the http: location. Can the FTP command to retrieve a directory be used against an HTTP site?
