It would be awesome to have this as a more native component of modern webservers.

I built something recently using Flask to do this for a client of mine. See it in action here: http://files.arbesko.com/

And get the source on github! https://github.com/whalesalad/arbesko-files

Please keep in mind this was my first Flask app and I was doing it more as a fun experiment for a friend I had done work for in the past.

The sidebar jump on each page-change is quite jarring. Please fix that and please port it to nginx. It's gorgeous!

This is a big flaw with a hopefully simple fix. Such a small thing ruined an otherwise pleasant experience. Great job, there is definitely a need for this and it works pretty well.

Edit: with the breadcrumb and icon/file switcher views, you may not even need this hierarchical view...

For something as basic as an index lister, the resource use is a bit over the top imho. It is nice though.
