I'd recommend to *not* go this route. Rather google for "java web file manager" or variations thereof: You'll find several open source projects that implement a file browser in a deployable web application. You can apply password protection to it, update/deploy/configure the application (e.g. to prevent /etc/passwd to be read) and so on. I'm explicitly not linking any of those applications here, as I can't recommend any from my own experience. I remember to have worked with one ages ago that was implemented in a single JSP (great to plant a debugging backdoor on production servers. But /cough/ who would ever do that?)
