Aight, I'm having this annoying issue with vsftpd. Whenever I attempt to direct my browser (IE 6) to ftp://joer.homelinux.com/ I get prompted for my username and password. Once, I do that I receive this error:

"An error occured while opening that directory on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access this folder."

Details:
200 Switching to ASCII mode
227 Entering Passive Mode 192, 168, 1, 5, 95, 91
425 Security: Bad IP connecting

Though, through my terminal on linux or command prompt. I can do the following:

joer@venus:/etc $ ftp
ftp> open joer.homelinux.com
Connected to joer.homelinux.com.
220 Welcome to Joe's FTP service (updated for faster service).
Name (joer.homelinux.com:joer): webuser
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>

This gives me perfect access... now when I'm on my browser and direct to my 'local' IP, 192.168.1.5 it will prompt for the username/password. I push those through and it logs in perfectly.

I have no firewall as you can see below. I port forwarded 20-21 for FTP, but that shouldn't have much to do with it... since it's working through the terminal or windows command prompt.

joer@venus:/etc $ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
joer@venus:/etc $


If you need to see my /etc/vsftpd.conf file, let me know

Open to suggestions.

Perhaps your browser is configured to use a proxy?

I don't believe so. In my Internet Explorer, Connections Tab (Advanced) there is no proxy setup. If you meant something else, could you elaborate more on how I can tell?

Thanks

perhaps you need this option set to YES in your conf file: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html

Genious! It works great, much appreciated...
