This sounds like what you need: https://ktor.io/samples/other/filelisting.html

With this I can serve all the files as static references. But you may want to list files. Is that your question?

I need what @diesieben07 suggests. But it seems like a lot of work for something so trivial

if I could serve a directory tree (with subfolders with files), that would help a bunch

@jorge.rego I tried that approach. It only seems to serve files, not folders with there subfolders. Any other decen way you know?

Nop, sorry. You can always encapsulate the file listing example that Take mentioned. Will take you 5 minutes defining a FileProvider to feed the route definition.
