How to take the filenames from a directory and store into a file??

hi,
how can i take the file names from a directory and store only the filenames in the file.
suppose i have a directory which contains the following files and subdirectories.
Code:
$ ls -ltr
total 16
-rw-rw-r--  1 adm etc    4 Aug  6 20:37 s1.txt
-rw-rw-r--  1 adm etc    4 Aug  6 20:37 s2.txt
-rw-rw-r--  1 adm etc    6 Aug  6 20:37 s3.txt
drwxrwxr-x  2 adm etc 4096 Aug  7 21:23 ARC

i want to select only the filenames excluding the directories and send the file names to a temp file. how can i do this. the output should be:
Code:
cat filelist
s1.txt
s2.txt
s3.txt
