Directory Lister

Directory Lister is a PHP‑based web utility that presents the contents of any web‑accessible folder as a browsable list, including all sub‑directories. It runs on PHP 8.2 or newer and requires the Zip, DOM, and Fileinfo extensions for features such as zip archive creation and README rendering. Installation is designed to be minimal: a drag‑and‑drop of the extracted files onto a web server and a quick configuration step get it operational in under a minute, with an optional Docker Compose setup for containerized environments.

The interface offers light and dark visual themes, customizable sorting of files and folders, and multilingual support. Users can search within the directory, view cryptographic hashes for each file to verify integrity, and download individual files or an entire directory as a zip archive. README files are rendered directly on the listing page, providing contextual information without leaving the view.

The project is open‑source under the MIT license, maintained by Chris Kankiewicz with community contributions. It is self‑hostable, free to use without subscription, and positioned for stable, production‑grade deployments.
