ubuntu client to connect to vsftpd server
 

I am trying to mount an ftp(with login) to a server that is running vsftpd, however when i login, it shows nothing. when i try with firefox, it says "document contains no data". I tried setting pasv_enable=yes but that didnt help. any ideas?

What happens when you use the command line and attempt to connect to the vsftp server? From a terminal, type "ftp <hostname>". What happens?

when i use cmd line ftp it does work.

shouldnt that mean that the "connect to server" thing should work?

What do you mean when you say "trying to mount an ftp(with login)"? Can you tell me in more detail what you're trying to do, and with what?

in gnome, i click "Places" and then "Connect to Server" and then "Ftp(with login)" and then i type in server ip and my username to connect. Then when actually go to server it asks for password, i give it it, and then nothing comes up.

I'll try your method at home this evening and post the results.

Mine hangs, too. I have to force quit to get the window closed.

huh, so who would i error report this too?
