Yes, and quite easy to do. Some web servers will display a list of all
files in a directory if that directory doesn't contain an 'index' file.

If you can run PHP files on your server you could use something like
this:

<?php

$dir=""; // Directory where files are stored

if ($dir_list = opendir($dir))
{
while(($filename = readdir($dir_list)) !== false)
{
?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $filename; ?>"><?php echo $filename;
?></a></p>
<?php
}
closedir($dir_list);
}

?>
