Issue connecting to ftp thru browser
I have an ftp server running ( fedora 4, VSFTP)
and it works fine as long as you use an FTP client. However I can not connect to it using a browser. I have tried both firefox and IE. I do require a log in to access the server and I also have IPtables running. Thanks for your help. |
What URL are you using in the browser to access your ftp server? Usually it should be ftp://servername or ftp://user@servername. What messages do you get?
|
ftp://<username>:<password>@<ip addresss>
I get the following error I get is 425 failed to establish connection. |
just guessing - did you try without a password i.e. ftp://username@ipaddress ?
Also, is there any message in your ftp server's log files? |
Yes i just tried with only the following:
ftp://<username>@<ip address> I then am prompted for the password, which I type. I then get the same error. I check /var/log/xferlog and I see the following. thu nov 2 17:23:14 2006 1 <my ip address> 0 / b _ o r <username> ftp 0 * i |
