I got myself a directory listing which looks like this.
Kinda like the "basement" page.

http://www.ozones.com/FTP/index.php?subDir=/..&startFrom=36

I just casualy thought "what the hell is this directory handle in the url?".

startFrom does not seem to have any affect on the whole thing.

subDir is the directory to go into from the FTP directory.

The /.. means show everything on the directory = to the FTP directory. You can then go up higher by typing in the appropriate URL, but it does not seem to allow you to go up any higher that the .. level. So /../.. does not work and just defaults you to the FTP directory.

Actually if you scroll down it's the start index for the images.

Yeah Mage, Bit, thanks for the summary of features.
It's useless, but it's an "easter egg" of some sort, gives an insight into how a bright mind like the Doc arranges his "thoughts", or mixes them up

I am glad the url is "filtered enough" to avoid security breaches... just am unsure as to wether this could be abused or not: after all,
it wasn't intended and reveals informations about the server.

Now, that's a way it can be "used": copy paste this or that folder into your navbar, appending it to "www.ozones.com".
It's all known stuff, but it still is sooooo cool to look at.
