Print out Directory structure?

[TheCreator]

What do you guys use to print out a list of all folders/files on a file server?

We are going to be doing some rearranging while migrating our server and I'd like to use something to dump all the data either to a printer or excel or something...

1. Open a command prompt. (Start, run, cmd.exe)
2. Enter the drive letter you wish to list.

c:<enter>

3. If you're not at just a C:\ prompt, type in CD\ to get to the root of the drive.

cd\<enter>

4. List the directory and redirect it to a text file.

dir /s > c:\fileList.txt

When it's finished, the cursor will start blinking again. It will take a long time, especially if you have a LOT of files. Once it's done, open c:\fileList.txt (or whatever you called it) in notepad, word, excel, or whatever. You might not be able to use notepad because you'll probably have too bit of a file for it.

Thanks,

Is there a way to run that and only get the folders/subfolders and not list each individual file in every folder? The report would be much shorter that way.

yup, same command Demon10000 showed you, just add the "/ad" also. It should look something like this:

dir /ad /s > c:\folderlist.txt

or try the tree command

 

[pxc]

tree FTW

dir /b/ad/s also is handy

tree FTW

dir /b/ad/s also is handy

that's the output I was looking for

Thanks for the assistance all.
