FTP problem from browser

antonio elder prado — Wed, 02 Feb 2005 20:39:00 GMT

I have a ftp server on hpux 11 machine. If I do a ftp to the server with any user I am capable of seeing all files. However if I go on the brower and ftp://ftp.server.server.com I am capable of login; however it doesn't show me any files. On the passwd file I do have the /./ to restrict users from snooping around. Any help is appreciated. TIA. ./antonio/.

Try to set FTP protocol in your browser to passive mode.

Hi,

Set the ftpd on your server to verbose logging and put a tail -f on the log file.

Then go with the browser to the ftp server and see what happens.

That's should tell you more.

Hi guys,
the problem was solved with placing the bin directories in the chrooted home directory of users. on my system /home/antonio/./ I did put the binaries (bin, lib) directories on the /home/antonio, this did the trick. thank you all for your help on narrowing down the problem.
Peace.
