Im trying to configure a linux server’s FTP to allow people to access it via browser similar to Windows IIS. go to ftp://serverip from firefox and it will look and act completely different than going to the same ftp://serverip from internet explorer. IE opens a window similar to windows explorer where files can be dragged and dropped in. Firefox will not. The best thing for people to use is an actual ftp client. They can even download a ftp portable app for their thumb drive. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/filezilla_portable

It’s not a server configuration error. It depends which browser people are using to connect to the server. go to ftp://serverip from firefox and it will look and act completely different than going to the same ftp://serverip from internet explorer. IE opens a window similar to windows explorer where files can be dragged and dropped in. Firefox will not. The best thing for people to use is an actual ftp client.

Hello, I would download Filezilla and use that. Linux will not be the problem, but your browser might be. Good Luck! Post a comment
