Two approaches:  (I'm assuming an applet)

Create a URL, open it, and parse the result back into a list of
filenames.  This assumes the URL returns a file list.

Create a program that runs on the server, listening on a socket.
When a connection is made, it feeds a list to the client.

Hope that helps
