reading and writing files on remote ServerDirectory

I have set up a webserver on a machine using Komanche with the following code:

| ma |
ma := ModuleAssembly core.
ma serverRoot: FileDirectory default fullName.
ma documentRoot: FileDirectory default fullName.
ma directoryIndex: 'index.html index.htm'.
ma serveFiles.
(HttpService startOn: 8080 named: 'httpd') plug: ma rootModule

So now if I goto the link: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 from another machine (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the server machine ) I can see the files inside the default directory on the server machine.

Now suppose there is a directory called 'test' on this server and I want to create/read/write files in this directory. How should I go about this?

I tried the following but this does not work !

serverD := ServerDirectory new.
serverD server:'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080'.

serverD getFileList

I think the error is in my connecting to the server directory. Is this because I created a FileDirectory and not a ServerDirectory while setting up the webserver in the code above? Also I am not sure how to connect to the server directory. Can someone point me to any examples of how to do this or point out the error? Thanks
