The tool I've used in the past to map out an entire website is Visio if you have access to a windows base pc.

Hi David,

A reliable site-mapping perl script I use is tree.pl:

> I have been asked to map out all the pages in a given intranet website.  So

> http://abc.com/ 
> 
> They want a list of every url that can be got at from the links on the

> 
> http://abc.com/
>   http://abc.com/page1.html
>   http://abc.com/page2.html
>      http://abc.com/page2a.html
>      http://abc.com/page2b.html
>      http://abc.com/page2c.html
>   http://abc.com/page3.html
>   http://abc.com/page4.html
>      http://abc.com/page4a.html
>      http://abc.com/page4b.html
>         http://abc.com/page4b1.html
>      http://abc.com/page4c.html 
> 
> And so on, mapping out the structure of links in the website.
