Displaying a file tree in AEM

[Former Community Member]

Is it possible to show a directory file tree through a custom site in AEM?

IE. showing the file tree of the DAM

I was wondering if you can do this like you can on a normal server by configuring the .htacess file but wouldn't

know where to start with AEM.

Thanks!

You can enable directory listing by turning on the Auto Index option of Apache Sling Default Get Servlet- 

1. Check the "Auto Index" checkbox in http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/org.apache.sling.servlets.get.DefaultGetServlet
2. Click on "Save"

You will see the directory listing enabled when you browse any resource with a trailing slash. Example - /content/dam/

If you want this DAM JCR file structure to be rendered in a page - write a custom component and use the JQuery plug-in mentioned in this AEM Community article:

Hope this helps.
