Hi Kenji

You can do a CFDIRECTORY to read all the directories and files within a
specified directory. You can differenciate between Files and Directories by the
TYPE returned by CFDIRECTORY you could then try to get files ending in eg.
listLast(Name, '.swf', '.') if you need to split the files up further.

Then each directory can be a link to the same cfm page which will then load up
the contents of the new directory. The link will need to pass through the
previous directory structure with the new directory appended so the CFDIRECTORY
has the full path specified.
The files could be links to open the actual file or to a page where it can be
edited/renamed/copied/deleted etc.

See attached code.
