VSFTPD Server Problem
 

I m using RedHat 5 Linux,
I have created an FTP Server using VSFTPD,
I got access through Command Prompt, prompting for authentication, but while i access the same ftp server through any WebBrowser, it directly goes into the FTP site,

My Requirement is: Accessing FTP Site from WebBrower , it must prompt for authentication.

Please do Help me for the same, as soon as possible.

Hoping a favorable and soon reply from "LinuxQuestions" members.

It sounds like you have enabled anonymous logins. You can try to see if that's the case using CLI to connect to your server and give "anonymous" as username. Useto stop anonymous logins.
If you connect to your server from a browser you should use: ftp://username@ftp.domain.com. This way you'll be prompted for the password. Or you can use the less safe: ftp://username:password@ftpr.domain.com to login directly.

I Am Really Thankyou to Bathory

i tried the solution u given me but, in my organisation the requirement is that, The user when access the ftp site must not give his username in the url. because in the browser history the entry remains there so it is not safe to do so..

Please do Help me .. ..

Thanks in advance

OK, if you want to be prompted for username/password you should disable anonymous ftp as I told you.
To disable anonymous access you should edit /etc/vsftp.conf and use the following:
Then restart the service.
If you're running vsftpd through xinetd run:
If you're running vsftpd standalone, I guess you should use something like:

Thankyou
