Looking for spider like utility to help me find unused images

[Dale DeMott]

I'm looking for a tool that will tell me if there are images and/or html pages that are not being used in my site. I have a ton of jpgs, gifs and html pages that might not be used on my site. Has anyone heard of such a tool.
Thanks!
Regards,
Dale

im not sure i understand. you have a lot of "extra" files on your host? from updating the site? i have never heard of any program that can do that.

I assume that you have a purely static site. If you have dynamically generated pages then the following most probably won't work. Anyway, I guess you could do it in two passes:
1. Run a traditional "clone" or "site syphon" spider over your site, saving each page and image to a duplicate directory structure somewhere. You might even be able to get away with just the functionality built into your browser!
2. Compare the "saved" directory structure with the original. Anything in the original and not in the copy is most likely redundant.
Make sense ?

gee..i hadnt thought of that. there is a free program you can download called site snag(i think thats the name, i forget where to get it) that should do the trick. as frank mentioned that would probably only work for a static site.

Actually I found something that does do this. Dreamweaver 4.0 does this by checking for obsolete files. Its a bit tough to find but it does do this. BTW, yes this is a static site. Thanks for your input.
