Question on product

Hello all,
I have a question. I have a client that wants us to edit all their documents that are attached to their website. The problem is that we dont know and they dont know where all the documents (pdf, doc, xls, ppt) are. Is there a product that will drill through the site and list the documents + the link? Unfortunatly the site is huge, so it is taking forever to go through. I tried using a web link validator, and it will give me the number of files, but not the link of where that file is, is there a product that will do this?

Thanks

Mel
 
Unfortately, with any sort of link validator, it will only follow the links from whatever url you put in. Anything not directly linked won't be found, although it could still be a valid url. Secondly, the 'paths' that seem to make up the url, don't neccessarily equate to the actual filesystem paths when you need to acutally find the file. If you have access, you might start with the web server configuration file. That should give a basic starting point of where files could be stored.
