online file browser help!!

Here is what i am trying to do...
i am trying to create an online file browser for my site. It works fine offline on my PC but online is a different story. I get a 'permission denied' warning when i try to access the directory where my files are in. The server has several users files stored and i understand that some sort of authorisation is required. I do ofcourse have the username and password for my site, but what it should do is access only MY directory directly without messing around with other people's directories.
This is the warning message i get:
Warning: opendir(/home/username/): failed to open dir: Permission denied
How can i authenticate and view my files? Any help would be appreciated
