ftp server

[micahpage]

i am trying to access my ftp through the web browser

I installed vsftpd
i changed /etc/vsftpd.conf:
anonymous_enable=NO
write_enable=YES

i am able to connect via filezilla, but when i go via website it hangs, and eventually does nothing

What am i doing wrong?

Are you specifying a username in your browser, such as ftp://tralce@yourftpsite.com? Since you have anonymous login disabled, poorly written FTP implementation in a browser can cause it to hang under these circumstances.

I was unaware of using a username like that.
I tried that solution but was unable I had the same happen.

What browser are you using? What version? From what operating system are you trying to connect?

Some borwsers/FTP servers will choke if you don't specify both the username and password in the URL. For example

ftp://myuser:mypassword@the-server.com
