Print directory tree from remote server?

[jrpatdlgs]

This is a government agency (that should say it all). Our web site is maintained remotely on a server to which the webmasters do not have direct access. Webmasters send site content to a site operator who then posts it to the site using a directory/sub-directory structure specified by the webmasters.

Due to the fact that the webmasters do not have direct access to the server, troubleshooting internal link malfunctions is a problem (sometimes the site operator puts things in the wrong subdirectory or the webmaster specifies an incorrect sub-directory). If the webmasters could actually see a "picture" of the site as it exists on the server it would be relatively easy for them to troubleshoot broken links. As it is now, the webmasters have to guess at the source of the problem by working through the site operator.

Does anyone know of utility software that will allow the site operator (UNIX server) to print a directory "tree" of a website (starting from a specified sub-directory)?

Thanks for your help.

Well, you could do it with Perl. But it seems to me that the best solution would be to change the arrangement you currently have and get a telnet/ftp account.

If only you had appropriate permissions, you could use Visio (or a similar tool) to reverse-engineer the directory structure.
