I have a public directory on my server where I would like make a link point
to it to show a list of files within. The list is to show the file name,
size and date created. Once the list is displayed one could then click on a
file to show its contents. How do I do this?

There are various ways to do what it seems you want to do!
1. Share the server directory, create a start up script on all the client
computers with the following information
net use * \\servername\sharenameonserver
This way when the clients start up their boxes, they automatically have a
drive in MSexplorer linked to the network share.
2. Create a new WEB on Microsoft IIS, set the web directory as being your
server?s public directory.  Then change the new web site properties as to
allow READ and Directory browsing permissions.  When clients query the web
server through Internet explorer http://servername they get a list of the
files held in the public server.
3. last but not least.... Create an FTP site in Microsoft IIS set the ftp
directory as being your server?s public directory.  Get your clients
connecting to it through ftp://servername .

Good luck hope it was what you needed!
