William A. LeonardComputer ConsultantSome web sites have a rapid turnover of pages and images. Sometimes the obsolete pages and images get left behind to clutter up the site and occupy valuable disk space. Often, it's useful just to know which pages refer to which other pages and to which images - especially if I inherit a web site developed by others. That's why I developed SiteLinx. This program lists an inventory of all the files at a site or local files in a folder. (Remote files are accessed by FTP. A valid ID and password are required.) Then, selecting a starting file (by clicking in a checkbox), the program seeks out the links to other pages and files recursively (automatically placing a check in the checkbox). From the resulting display, I can tell which files were and were not referenced from the starting file. I can also check additional files to add to the list. Unresolved links are either broken links or links to pages outside the scope of the current site. Right clicking on a file shows which files it references and which files reference it. The right click menu also offers the same options I would have from the Windows Explorer (including DELETE if the file is an orphan).
