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
but only in IE7 when i do the above it takes me to root and i c the following ------ FTP root at 91.198.134.59 To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer
and below is a long directory listing of the entire root filesystem which i can navigate n it not takes me to /var/ftp/pub
now if i click on View => Open FTP site in Windows Explorer it again ask me for the username and password n after entering it works perfect
wondering why this happen only wth IE7 browser
apprecite your help
regards
Fabian

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer disabled support for this notation some time ago, the excuse being its frequently used in phishing, and this would discourage that. of course, it didn't, but it did inconvenience some folks.

Hmm must be something recent since it works for me in IE 6.0.2900(just tried it).
Maybe specific to IE 7..

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

Okay, that is scary, did not know you could do that. How would one go about disabling web browsers to access ftp like that? Setting in vsftp or playing with apache?
I know a little off topic, but kinda spooked me.
