I've given the folders an icon (directory), and provided a blank icon for that little weird and useless icon that appears next to the column headings.Īs far as the template files themselves, there's not much in my footer, but here's a simplified version of my header: Then I've set up a default icon for any unknown type. I've set up a custom icon for images, and associated it with the above filetypes. These statements are just replacing Apache's default icons with icons that you upload to your server. I'll explain the actual template files in a minute.ĪddIcon /dir/icons/blank.gif ^^BLANKICON^^ĪddIcon /dir/icons/image.gif. These directives allow you to insert a custom html header and footer before the actual file listings on your page, and the SuppressHTMLPreamble statements ensures that you don't end up with a duplicate set of etc tags in your code. SuppressHTMLPreamble is used for the next set of statements: Otherwise you get cut off titles and things (.). The width statements ensure that Apache adjusts the column widths for file information based on the length of the content. FoldersFirst just puts folders before files in the list, regardless of how things are sorted. IndexOptions IgnoreCase FancyIndexing FoldersFirst NameWidth=* DescriptionWidth=* SuppressHTMLPreambleįancyIndexing really isn't all that fancy, but it allows you to customize icons for the different filetypes you'll post to FTP, and modify the fonts and things, so it's important to enable this. Note that autoindexing must be configured in Apache for all of this to work: Then you can add the specific directives to modify the appearance. The first thing you should do is protect your htaccess file, which, supposedly, you can accomplish with this code, though I'm no expert on it: Luckily, there's a pretty easy way to change this simply by modifying your htaccess file. The drawback is that apache default directory listings are stuck in the dawning days of the internet, so everything looks really ugly.
In ways, it's a good solution because all you have to know is how to connect to a server, and how to drag and drop, so anyone can manage what's posted. These include a directory server, which has been certified as LDAP v3 compliant by the Open Group (Apache Directory Server), and Eclipse-based directory tools (Apache Directory Studio).The company I work for uses an FTP server to post all of its files for client review.
The Apache Directory Project provides directory solutions entirely written in Java.
etc.)īut i’m stopping here for know 1st because I’m in an hurry, 2nd because i want to leave to you the pleasure to explore this amazing software that will simplify your life and improving your LDAP understanding thanks to him intuitivity…
etc.Īnd if you switch to the Apache Directory Server (that’s a java embeddable and standalone server) you also will get full control of the server configuration and a lot of interesting features via the GUI (Consistency triggers on entries and attributes, Visual ACL definition, schema definition, connectors, additional protocols (Kerberos,DNS…) etc.
Openldap)Īpache Directory Studio is an amazing Java application (No installation required) that permits to you to easy add or update LDAP entries, manage objectClasses, testing search filters with autocompletion, exporting inmporting data in LDIF, CSV, refactoring the directory, batch operations etc. Probably you never tried Apache Directory Studio: the easiest way to browse and manage any LDAP3 Compliant Server (e.g. Do you think that managing an LDAP server is something esoteric?
