You can do this by using 'tree' command.

tree -X <dir>

As far as I know there is no standard linux command to do the job, but google-ing I found that there is a free multi platform: xml-directory-listing

Unfortunately it is written in Java.

You could easily write a script for that, using languages such as Perl, Python or Ruby should do well.
