This utility scrapes through the contents of all user folders on Grace (the RIT web server) looking for files. As opposed to attempting to visit the web site over the web and spidering the pages, navigating the directories directly proved to be much more useful and powerful.

The application need to be run on Grace itself, and could probably be quickly configured to work on other web servers too.

The first version of this application is also provided – it scraped the RIT web server’s public traffic logs looking for images and inserted them into a database.
