Sycronize files with HTML

A friend of mine recently asked me to help him. Basically he has a
virtual directory on his companies webserver with his files and other
stuff that he downloads all the time. What he wanted was a way to
upload all his files to his personal folder in the virtual directory
and have a html page that basically shows all the recent uploaded files
in his folder as links so his collegues and himself can download. I
told him about ftp, but he doest want that at all. And he doesnt know
much about html tags and html code. It took me awhile to understand
what he was trying to do, but after awhile I know what he wants. He
wants to have a html page in his directory and within this html page,
he wants to upload any file any time of the day and the html page would
automatically refresh new files uploaded and give a url to its file
location. Its been awhile since i worked with html actually its been
about 5 yrs. I been out of it for awhile so I dont know if you can
actually do something like this. And if you can am I looking at HTML,
DHTML, or cgi,perl or something else?
Any tips or any sites for scripts would be helpful

The easiest way would be to enable the web server's directory listing
option for that directory, and disabling the default document option, so
that

http://mymachine/myvirtualdir/

would automatically list all the files in that virtual directory.
