Looking for some low tech, easy ideas on how to go about clearing some
files off of a server that's been in use since the stone age...
basically it's our intranet server and has been subject to kruft,
neglect and bad programming practices for about the last 12 years....
I was thinking a decent start would be to just get a list off all the
files in the wwwroot folder on down, with a directory name, file name,
date and size.
Not being the DOS wiz I used to be, DIR /S is close but doesn't put
the Directory name on the same line as the file info, thus making an
import and/or sort a problem.
Anyone have a DIR command syntax or perhaps a BAT file that does this
sort of thing?
Looking for similar to this:
FOLDER NAME, FILE NAME, SIZE, DATE
Cheers, and happy Friday

Hi
Perhaps this utility written in 2009 by Karen Kenworthy, now sadly deceased,
will help. (I'm not a programmer so forgive me if it's a dead end.)

Do also read the charming and funny intro to her program on keeping track of
time zones.

Brian
