PureFTP question

My question how can I get the files to show up in a web browser. So like when I type in ftp://111.111.111.111(my ip) it will show up in IE and what not. I haven't really set up any config files...but I i've just messed around with the options when you run the daemon and nothing seems to work. It always says something about unable to secure the anonymous connection.

Sounds like you don't have anonymous access enabled. If that's the case, it will not give a directory listing. Try logging in w/ a client as anonymous. If you can't, then that's possibly the problem. The other way to test is to pass the user/pass in the URL like this.

ok that works(I could have sworn I tried that before. But how do I enable anonymous access. I looked in the man pages and I couldn't see anything. Also how do I make it so that the box shows up where you enter your username and password.

Unfortunately, that stuff I'm not sure about. I don't recall that being a feature of an FTP server, but then again, I've not messed around w/ the min a very long time.

Well haven't you ever gone to FTP sites on the net that have the little login box? That is also how I administer my website that is hosted by 1and1. When I got to the FTP site I have to login.

Also I still can';t log in anonymously. Is there something I have to set up?

Have you browsed through /etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd ? In Gentoo, configuration of pure-ftpd is done there. There should be a list of options along with their meanings somewhere in that file, IIRC.

Yea I did look in there and I couldn't seem to find anything. But it the /etc/conf.d apply if I'm running the daemon from the command line? I just run

Yes, I was assuming you were using the initscript. Sorry.

Anyway, anonymous login should be enabled by default - care to share some of the error messages you mentioned in the OP?
