Need help for FTP creation

[prass80]

Hello,

Am using CentOS 5.5 and trying to configure FTP.

I want to access a particular directory of this server in any other windows system through browser using FTP.

Steps followed:
1. Created a directory in /var/ftp/swrep
2. groupadd swrep
3. useradd -g swrep swrep
4. chmod 777 /var/ftp
5. chkconfig vsftpd on
6. In vsftpd.conf, disabled anonymous_enable.

I AM ABLE TO LOGIN TO FTP FROM PUTTY. BUT NOT THROUGH BROWSER (IE).

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks!

Hello.. i tried doing the same steps again and SUCCEEDED.

But now the problem is, in IE when I access this FTP, it is listing the whole list of directories of the system.

How do I RESTRICT displaying other folders except my specific directory?

Please help!

Thanks!

How are you accessing your ftp server in a browser? Are you using a url like this in the address bar:

ftp://<FTP_SERVER_IP>

If you don't get prompted for user/pass, do you put that in the URL?

When your page is loaded, what do you see?

Also, show the contents of your vsftpd.conf file.

you have to fix the chroot value to ~ so that every user is redirected to his home
