    var isFolder = entry.type == "folder";
    var name = (isFolder ? "+ " + entry.name : entry.name);
    console.log(_.repeat("| ", depth - 1) + (depth ? "|-" : "") + name);

    if (isFolder) {
        _.each(entry.children, function(child) {
            recursivelyPrintNames(child, depth + 1);
        });
    }
};

OctoPrint.files.list(true)
    .done(function(response) {
        console.log("### Files:");
        _.each(response.files, function(entry) {
            recursivelyPrintNames(entry);
