boost has an excellent filesystem library that I would recommend for any filesystem operations. You'll have to spend a bit of time to become familiar with it, but it saves you headache and nightmare later on.

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/filesystem/v2/doc/index.htm

If you decide not to use boost there's opendir() and such. 'man opendir' will show you about it and lead you to related functions. But really, prefer boost here since you have C++!
