Yes, you can easily save a folder list as a text file using common tools like PowerShell or command-line utilities without needing DOS programs.

You could simply build a PHP or JavaScript page and let it operate. However, I question whether that would be regarded as straightforward.

Navigate to the desired location and run the command to generate a text file containing all filenames. You can then edit this file to remove unwanted entries such as full paths that appear on each line. For instance, search for "c:\path\" and replace it with an empty string. Use the built-in tools in Total Commander (similar to Windows Explorer but more advanced) to create lists of files from subfolders. After processing, open the resulting file and perform a search and replace operation to eliminate unwanted data like paths. Adjust options like /A for read-only view, /C to show thousand separators, or /D to sort by column instead of width. Choose the desired output format and ensure sorting preferences match your needs.
