Hi team,
this is my first post in this site.

I have RH-5 installed in one of my lab boxes. I installed vsftpd on it and the /var/ftp directory is the ftp users directory. I have configured vsftpd.conf to have anonymous logins.

When i type ftp.<ip> in browser, i have a ftp page opened, which lists the directories in /var/ftp, I can download files from here. I tried to use CLI for upload and download of files as anonymous user and it works just fine. I wanted to ask if I can upload files from the web page. Because when i open the ftp page on browser it doesnt give me any upload option. The only way out is to use CLI.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks,

this is totally down to your browser. there appear to be plugins like FireFTP for firefox, but you should just use a normal ftp client really.

Thanks chris, i just wanted to make sure if there was a server side setting for this, but it doesnt seem so.

No, it wouldn't make sense for there to be one. FTP is a generic protocol, the interaction between doing this on a psuedo web page and a more conventional looking client would be exactly the same to the server.

i agree on that, thanks Chris
