[dba-VB] serving up a directory as a web page...

so with all these news on iPad,  our team ended up getting one, but to make
it really useful, we are being asked on how can we make it search our
network drives so that content is served up on it easily, currently our
manager who has been testing it sends the files he wants to it via email and
then just opens them this way during his meeting, however if he forgets one,
he sends us an email so that we can send it his way.  My question, since
this thing will open up pdf's served up from the web, and convert docs to
pages files on the fly, why not have it really be useful and setup some sort
of web interface to 2 or 3 of our folders and just serve them up so the boss
can surf these directories and read them as he needs.

but of course how would you approach this?  with iis/.net or apache and php?

thanks,
-Francisco
