You could create a function module that calls function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING and get files in DIR_LIST, make sure to pass the directory name from al11 in DIR_NAME.

use method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. This is a static public method so you can call it with out instantiating the class e.g. CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES.

This is bad information. The CL_GUI_* classes can't be used from Web Dynpro.

They require a connection to the SAPGUI. Access to the client side within a browser is very limited. There is no control in Web Dynpro which will give you the file list you require. You can use ACFUpDownload. In 7.02 this control has a file dialog which can allow users to select a file(s). However it can't just return this list to the server.
