If I correctly understand what you are saying, you want to be able to place
files in your folder "test" and then be able to download them.

Two approaches (probably more):

1. Create an index file and link to each of them. That way you can include
any description along with each file.

2. Create the file (text) .htaccess in the folder and put the line:
Options +Indexes
in it. That will tell apache to present it as a file listing.

Hope that helps and I've not totally misunderstood what you are after.
