Dear ALl,
here below is the problem i had earlier and had posted my problem to the list. thnks and appreciate all ur sugesstions but i did manage to solve googling arround right below i hav the solution may help someone arround
Dear All,
i have the following centos FTP local FTP server having the following
Centos 5 vsftpd-2.0.5-10.el5
its been running fine for abt 2 years or so
Now with IE5 or IE6 when i say ftp://ip address of FTP server it asks me for the username and password and if its correct i directly go to the /var/ftp/pub directly which is perfect
You should contact support for IE7 and ask them that.
Another thing to try, something I always recommend for people using web browsers to connect to ftp sites that are not anonymous, is to ftp with this url:
ftp://<username>:<password>@address/path/
Of course don't include the <>'s
nate
Solution
In /etc/vsftpd.conf have the following
chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
create a file chroot_list and add the user who gonna ftp to the ftp server the users home directory is the ftp root directory Obviously the ftp user is a local user
so it works perfect .. but i still wonder why IE6 was working fine
thnks
fabian
