Pure Lua has no module for filesystem access. You may do one of two things:

  1. Use some of modules available: http://lua-users.org/wiki/FileSystemOperations
  2. Use os.exec() to do ls-ing and then cd-ing.

For UI you can use one of multiple bindings, like the one for Qt (GUI) or for ncurses (TUI).
