Im a bit of an ftp newbie, and i am having a prob with my server. When i connect to my server via internet explorer/firefox, and click on a file in it, it tries to either open that file in another browser window, or tries to navigate to it like a directory. ive tried txt,zip,iso,exe the same thing happens. is there a setting that just allows me to download things, not just replace? my pure-ftp.conf file: Code: # Cage in every user in his home directory ChrootEveryone yes # TrustedGID 100 # Turn on compatibility hacks for broken clients BrokenClientsCompatibility yes # Maximum number of simultaneous users MaxClientsNumber 50 # Fork in background Daemonize yes # Maximum number of sim clients with the same IP address MaxClientsPerIP 8 VerboseLog no # List dot-files even when the client doesn't send "-a".

AutoRename no # Disallow anonymous users to upload new files (no = upload is allowed) AnonymousCantUpload yes # Only connections to this specific IP address are allowed to be # non-anonymous. You can use this directive to open several public IPs for # anonymous FTP, and keep a private firewalled IP for remote administration. # You can also only allow a non-routable local IP (like 10.x.x.x) to # authenticate, and keep a public anon-only FTP server on another IP. #TrustedIP 10.1.1.1 # If you want to add the PID to every logged line, uncomment the following # line. #LogPID yes # Create an additional log file with transfers logged in a Apache-like format : # fw.c9x.org - jedi [13/Dec/1975:19:36:39] "GET /ftp/linux.tar.bz2" 200 21809338 # This log file can then be processed by www traffic analyzers.

KeepAllFiles yes # Automatically create home directories if they are missing CreateHomeDir yes # Enable virtual quotas. The first number is the max number of files. # The second number is the max size of megabytes. # So 1000:10 limits every user to 1000 files and 10 Mb. #Quota 1000:10 # If your pure-ftpd has been compiled with standalone support, you can change # the location of the pid file.

As /var/ftp is in /var, it save some space and protect # the log files. When the partition is more that X percent full, # new uploads are disallowed. MaxDiskUsage 99 # Set to 'yes' if you don't want your users to rename files. #NoRename yes # Be 'customer proof' : workaround against common customer mistakes like # 'chmod 0 public_html', that are valid, but that could cause ignorant # customers to lock their files, and then keep your technical support busy # with silly issues. If you're sure all your users have some basic Unix # knowledge, this feature is useless. If you're a hosting service, enable it. CustomerProof yes # Per-user concurrency limits. It will only work if the FTP server has # been compiled with --with-peruserlimits (and this is the case on # most binary distributions) . # The format is : <max sessions per user>:<max anonymous sessions> # For instance, 3:20 means that the same authenticated user can have 3 active # sessions max. And there are 20 anonymous sessions max. # PerUserLimits 3:20 # When a file is uploaded and there is already a previous version of the file # with the same name, the old file will neither get removed nor truncated. # Upload will take place in a temporary file and once the upload is complete, # the switch to the new version will be atomic. For instance, when a large PHP # script is being uploaded, the web server will still serve the old version and # immediatly switch to the new one as soon as the full file will have been # transfered. This option is incompatible with virtual quotas. # NoTruncate yes # This option can accept three values : # 0 : disable SSL/TLS encryption layer (default). # 1 : accept both traditional and encrypted sessions. # 2 : refuse connections that don't use SSL/TLS security mechanisms, # including anonymous sessions. # Do _not_ uncomment this blindly. Be sure that : # 1) Your server has been compiled with SSL/TLS support (--with-tls), # 2) A valid certificate is in place, # 3) Only compatible clients will log in. # TLS 1 # Listen only to IPv4 addresses in standalone mode (ie. disable IPv6) # By default, both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled. # IPV4Only yes # Listen only to IPv6 addresses in standalone mode (ie. disable IPv4) # By default, both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled. # IPV6Only yes # FileSystemCharset big5 # ClientCharset big5 Help would be very much appreciated. PS I had to remove some of the comments in the code to make it fit in the message
Have you tried a real FTP client like SmartFTP or WS_FTP? A browser is not what you want to use for FTP.
