It should look like this:
If a client visits http://server address/Directory , then they can see something like this:

What's the problem. You need the System.IO namespace and you need to compile the FileInfo and DirectoryInfo information and then render it to a page that represents the data how you want it to look. You haven't given enough information for an answer that is more comprehensive.

It should look "classical". A table that contains name, size and date when created

I have tried (now) these solutions that Marciej Los recommended, but these are not things that i mean. Idea is that when a client visits http://server address/dir , then this "dir" will be like folder view in browser.

Sure, a 5. And also, HTTP servers usually have directory listing option, which can be applied to certain directories. It will show directory content automatically. Of course, this option is considered unsafe.
