Getting directory list of a device over wifi connection

Question

I want to get the directory list of FlashAir which is connected to a android device over wifi, and i need to download the selected files.

Here is the networking specification of the device

1. Supported protocol - TCP/IP (IPv4)
2. Server functionality - HTTP Server, DHCP Server
3. Client functionality - HTTP, DHCP, DNS, NETBIOS

What protocol can be used to get the directory list and how?

Answer 1

Here is a tutorial that shows you how to write a quick app that will allow you to get a directory list of FlashAir contents as well as download image files (or with some tweaking, any files) from the FlashAir:

Answer 2

The only protocol in the list which is able to transfer files is http. However, the http server must be configured to allow for directory listings. Also, of course, the file system subtree which can be browsed will be limited to the structure below the http server's "root" directory.
