vsftpd over WAN
 

I am trying to connect to my vsftpd server at home over the internet.
I am good connection using command line if i do ftp xx.xx.xx.xx then user name and password but if i open my browser and type ftp://user@xx.xx.xx.xx " using the same user that i had success from the command line" I get "An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder. Details the connection with the server was reset"

Please help
Thanks for you time

I assume that you are talking about the same computer, it can command line ftp to it but fails to work with the browser.

Does the browser prompt you for a password? If not, perhaps it is set to try anonymous by default. You can probably turn that option off. Try the following, open your browser and use ftp://user:password@xx.xx.xx.xx

Hope this helps

yes when i do ftp://user@xx.xx.xx.xx the browser ask me for password once i click ok i could see that its trying to locate the folder on the ftp server and thats when i get the error messages.
Also, it does that either i specify a user or i try to lon in as anonymous.

Again i could use the command line to reach my ftp fails to work with the browser and i am talking about the same computer

Thanks
