What would be the best and most highly recommended way of viewing a site map for a particular directory or segment of an entire website?

I also want, if possible, for the site map to show directories in addition to files.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Gary

I think it can be done, but the implementation depends pretty much on the language you intend to use. What is the site map made for? And what language do you want to use?
Most Internet Servers (such as Apache and IIS) allow to view the contents of a directory directly - just have your startup .html have a non-standard name and tell the Admin of the server to allow your visitors to view the contents of your specified directory. That would be the easiest way. You will then have to modify the links that point to a .html in this subdirectory so they point to the file itself and not just to the subdir, but this shouldn't be a problem...

Why not just dig in the documentation of your favourite server-side language?
