How to bypass index.html file to look inside directory

Is there any way I can view the contents of a directory that has an index.html file inside?  Seems most browsers default to showing the index.html page and will not allow you to see what's in the directory.

Suppose you try to access my page:

http://members.aol.com/GivenRandy

This will lead to the default, which is "index.htm" in my case.

However, if you change "http" to "ftp",
you should see all the files:

ftp://members.aol.com/GivenRandy

Yes that is if there is no password required to view the directory . . .
If theres a password required then NO. The whole point of the password is to keep you out. Unless youre REALLY good at hacking youre out of luck.

where can I get web whacker or web devil?  

Perhaps it is unscrupulous but I am in a very competitive field of internet marketing and would like to know how our competition is designing their sites. . . .
Keep in mind that your competitors know that you want to know how they did it and they will do everything in their power to keep you from knowing how they did it..;)
