Introduction:
Folder’s Web is a utility program to generate static index.html files for websites.
Download Folder’s Web here.
Folder’s Web is written in C#. .NET 8.0 is required to run Folder’s Web.
How the index generator engine works:
Folder’s Web walks a directory tree, given by a root folder that you specify in the program,
and generates an index.html file in every non-empty folder. The root folder itself is also
indexed.
A newly-generated index.html file is only written to disk, if:
the new index.html file’s contents will be different than the existing index.html file’s
contents; or
the relevant index.html file does not exist yet.
When Starting Path (Root) and Base URL are entered, and Go is clicked, the Log tab will be
populated with detailed information while the template engine processes and generates files.
The Updated tab will be populated with the relative paths in which index.html and/or
sitemap files have been generated (i.e. a list of relative paths that contain newly-generated
index.html and/or sitemap files).
