You need some server side scripting. Have a look at
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php for a start.
An alternative is to store the meta data (file name, file location) of the
html-files in a database.
If the html-files have the same structure you might consider creating the
html files with the contents of a database.

If you solved the former problem, that will be an easy one :-)
