PHP Directory Listing is a simple PHP script that will do just that, list a directory.
To use PHP Directory Listing just unpack into the directory you want listed, or unpack somewhere else and symlink index.php, index.css and the .icons directory.
Version restrictions:
- Im currently using the Tango Projects icon library, but theres quite a few of the MIME icons missing. If youre good at graphics and help them out, youre supporting much more projects than just this little script!
- The gray box around a mime type icon / thumbnail does not always have the same size.
- There is no good way of specifying the number of columns when the script is used through symlinks
- Actually, the columns should adjust their number automatically, which they dont
Enhancements:
- This release merges Andreas Aronssons changes.
- ASP files are now supported, and directories have a slash appended.

Directory Synchronize is the small handy utility you always missed! Directory Synchronize is small, reliable, and fast. And best of all - it is Open Source; released under the GPL you are free to use and distribute it.
Directory Synchronize synchronizes the contents of one directory to another. That means you can use it to backup your data on a regular basis to another computer or another harddrive.
Or you can use Directory Synchronize to synchronize the data on your laptop with the data on your desktop.
Programmed in real platform independent Java you can use Directory Synchronize on nearly every computer platform including Windows, Linux and Macintosh.
Use the Directory Synchronize GUI for starting, pausing and stopping a synchronization.
Or use the GUI to easily create and store a configuration and use the command line to automatically start it every time you boot up your computer.
Enhancements:
- Some bugs have been solved.
- If a file can not be accessed, only a warning is issued instead of issuing a critical error and halting synchronization.
- If you select a directory instead of a file as a log for a directory definition, a line-separator was added instead of a file-separator.
- Some NullPointerExceptions in console mode have been fixed.
- The " " wildcard can be used for the path of the global log, and the " " wildcard can be used for the name of the current directory definition in the directory definition log filename.

Shell Directory Manager is a small tool for managing often-visited directories using a shell like bash.

I offer two new commands: dm is a manager for a small database, where you name directories with a short alias. And dmcd is a function for your current shell, which lets you go to a directory given its alias in the database.

Example of use:

$ dm 1 /tmp # Adds the id 1 for /tmp
$ dm bla . # Adds the id bla for the current dir
$ dmcd 1 # Goes to /tmp
$ dmcd bla # Goes to what was your current dir
$ dm -d bla # Deletes the entry for bla.
$ dm # Shows your database
1 /tmp
$ dm -h # Shows help, and defines dmcd for sh.

Installation:

Its a script in bash - dont look for any special filename extension. Put the downloaded dm in your path.

Install the dmcd function. dm -h may give you a clue. For instance, for bash, add the following line into your .bashrc or .bash_profile (or any system wide script for each session):

function dmcd { dm -t $1 && cd `dm $1`; }

Apache Directory Server is an embeddable LDAP server implemented in pure Java.
Our primary vision (others also outlined below) is to build an enterprise directory server platform (and its components) where other Internet services snap in to store their data within the directory so they may be managed using LDAP.
From the image above youll see the architecture is designed so services besides LDAP like DNS, DHCP, SLP and Kerberos will snap in. Other services like UDDI can also be implemented and snapped in. These services will use a common networking layer and each can be toggled on and off according to the needs of the environment.
apseda, mina, or sedang are various frameworks used for the common network layer. These services share the common network layer and back their data within the Apache Directory Servers backing stores without any network latency or going through the LDAP line protocol. NTP btw is the only exception and its there to remedy the need for time sync for replication and other time sensitive protocols like kerberos. Its implementation here is intended to prevent any dependency on external infrastructure.
Main features:
- Designed as an LDAP and X.500 experimentation platform. Plugable components and subsystems make ApacheDS extremely modular and ideal for experiments with various aspects of the LDAP protocol.
- The servers frontend is completely separable from its backend and vice-versa making it very flexible for implementing virtual directories, proxy servers and gateways to X.500.
- Several backends can be implemented and plugged into the servers partition nexus. The server supports a BTree based partition out of the box but any backing store can be used to implement a partition so long as it conforms to interfaces.
- The server exposes aspects of administration via a special system backend. LDAP can be used to manage these concerns through the system naming context at ou=system.
- Java based triggers and stored procedures are being implemented.
- Both the backend subsystem and the frontend are separable and independently embeddable.
- The server contains a server side JNDI LDAP provider as the facade for the entire backend subsystem. JNDI operations are directly translated by this provider into operations against the nexus and the target partitions storing server entries.
- The server will use JNDI as the data access API for stored procedures. This will make stored procedures functional within and outside of the server without requiring recompilation.
- The servers networking code, MINA, Multipurpose Infrastructure for Network Applications was designed for pluggable protocol providers, of all sorts and not just LDAP. MINA gives ApacheDS the ability to handle large amounts of concurrency.
- The server uses the Snickers tools and APIs for ASN.1 BER encoding and decoding. These tools are designed for a very small encoding and decoding footprint as well as for use in non-blocking servers. The chunking nature of the BER codec makes the server very efficient while handling encoding and decoding making it more resistant to DoS attacks. This layer is also pluggable with a new experimental Twix provider which is much more efficient. Of course there is the unsupported Snacc4J provider which is no longer maintained.

Auto Directory Index PHP Script is a PHP script that makes a table that lists the files in a directory, and lets users access the files and subdirectories.
It includes searching, icons for each file type, an admin panel, uploads, access logging, file descriptions, and more.

Fedora Directory Server is a full-featured LDAPv3 compliant server.

In addition to the standard LDAPv3 operations, Fedora Directory Server supports multi-master replication, fully online configuration and administration, chaining, virtual attributes, access control directives in the data, Virtual List View, server-side sorting, SASL, TLS/SSL, and many other features.

The transactional Berkeley DB 4.2 is used as its data store and a full plug-in API allows developers to extend the the functionality of the server in many ways, and many of the core features of the server are already implemented using this API.

The server is very mature, having started out as Netscape Directory Server.
