The thing is that you cannot have both:

A directory with an index file such as index.php/index.html *and*
directory listing. Because if there is an index.*, then there will be no
listing.

What you can do: Have a subdirectory beneath without index.* file and
have the client stuff the files he wants to share into that.

A much better solution might be to install OwnCloud (see:
https://owncloud.com/) on the Vsite. Or into a subdirectory of it.

That can be used to share files easily with other users. You can set up
access rights for multiple users, or you can create a link that provides
authed access to the specific file only for the person that has the link
that OwnCloud generated for sharing purpose.
