I may be wrong but Ive setup a server recently and you would need permission
to do what you want. If a host is using an SSI filter or some security mechanism
then it will be almost impossible to find anything that exist within the realm
of a
particular site exept those file specifically specified "allowed" for viewing.
Sure some hacker tricks might work but most SSI will keep novice hackers a bay.
