Help with displaying files in a folder

[astronaut]

I am a complete newb at web design, so please bear with me. I think my situation is simple enough - I have a page that I want to list all the files that are stored in a particular folder on my server. While I would just manually enter the links, this page is basically a downloads page for some people I work for. I don't need ANY special graphics, just the files listed like it was an FTP, and I need the list to always display what's currently there.

www.domain.com/downloads/ would display all contents in the ftp.domain.com/downloads folder:

file01.doc
file02.xls, etc...

Is this a quick thing I can do in HTML or am I going to need to get serious in reading my php books?

Thanks
