Difficult to do if directory listing is turned off. It can be done if the
site has a script/module that uses poor input:

http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/5TP0B15DFI.html - 4D WebSTAR
http://www.osvdb.org/displayvuln.php?osvdb_id=7275 - PowerPortal Gallery
http://www.osvdb.org/displayvuln.php?osvdb_id=4946 - ADA Image Server

Or potentially server vulnerabilities:
