Sharing a directory on the web

Here’s my scenario:

I’m currently running a web server and have it set to make a certain index.html file the home page. So if you type in

[url]http://24.19.54.215[/url]

in your address bar, my index.html file will come up (it just says under construction right now).

Now, I have other folders placed inside the same directory as index.html, and I want to allow remote users to be able to access them. For example, I want a user to be able to type in

[url]http://24.19.54.215/pics[/url]

and have it display one of those pages that says “index of /pics” and then lists all the files in that directory. However when I do type that in my address bar, it says “You are not authorized to view this page” or some crap. My question is, what do I have to do to allow web users to be able to veiw this page? Please don’t tell me it invloves my web server, because I’m using a really simple one that doesn’t really have any configuration settings in it.

If it does invlove the web server, then please reccomend a simple easy-to-use web server that supports this function.

EDIT: If there is more than one solution, please just tell me the easiest one.

Thanks!
