That's nothing to do with PAM beyond the authentication.

You need to write a web application (CGI or otherwise) to act as a front
end file manager or use one already written by someone else. Once you
have authenticated you can reasonably safely use the remote user
variable from the HTTP session to identify the user and use getent to
determine the user system details.
