If you're using Apache, it can do that all by itself.  You can even
customise what it does above and below the listing.

The following very simple BASH script generates a file with a listing of
the current directory, vaguely similar to how Apache generates one.

echo "<html><head><title>testing</title></head><body><h1>testing</h1>"
for file in *
do
   echo "<div><a href=\"$file\">$file</a></div>"
done
echo "</body></html>"

You could do something like that, but you'd probably want to expand on
it.
