If the index.php is missing, and all files in the directory are listed, how can I download the *.php from the server? (apache)
Thanks
You can't. If the apache is php-aware, it will allways parse the php code before giving it to you.
On some servers it can be done. Try do download it with GetRight (http://sth.comindex.php)...
But that can only be done on bad configured servers... (and IIS 😉)
