Why not get into your apache config file and do something like this:

Alias /files "/directory/where/the/files/are"



Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Stop and restart Apache after changing the file. Aiming your browser
at "http://www.your.site/files" will result in an index listing of the
"/directory/where/the/files/are" directory.


You also can try (as root) the apacheconf and look at all the options aviable.

Cheers
