I am searching for programs that generate ascii text from files in a folder. Previously, I used WS_FTP for this task, but it seems the free version no longer supports it. Such tools work by moving to a directory, scanning file names, and saving them into a buffer for editing.

Use the command prompt to move to the folder.
Run dir /b>filelist.txt and press Enter.
A text file will appear with the names of all files in that directory.

Would prefer to handle it using a Windows application. I need to perform a lot of it, so it would be faster.

This falls within the section on "Requirements gathering". Performing this task for a few folders versus a hundred is likely to be significantly different. Or CD/DVD.

It is simple to accomplish in PowerShell by employing recursion to explore any path in the directory structure or the full hierarchy.

It appears an FTP system would suit this need well, such as a CD/Dir indexer or cataloger.

I believe Total Commander with a plug-in might be able to handle this. Can't recall.

Start with PowerShell as an Admin and execute the Get-ChildItem cmdlet at the prompt.

I managed to achieve a similar result using filezilla by emphasizing the directory and choosing Copy URLs to the clipboard:
This actually functions well for having someone code HTML files based on my original HTML files for other CDs without giving them access to my password. I'm not sure if my domain is properly configured for FTP. It also offers a very gentle learning curve for doing it another way.
