CentOS - Mar 2007 - How to enable download via web browser with vsftpd?

HI ,

I setup vsftp yesterday as a local user only mode. No anonymous was enabled.
I set up this vsftpd on my machine running CentOS 4.4. its ip is
192.168.101.25. so when I login as ftp://192.168.101.25/ via web browser, I
am promted the username as password. After inputing username and password, I
can login successfully. Then I can download everything as usual. But I can
not upload any data ? Why is that ? How to enable it via web browser?

But, If I use command line mode, I can do both downloading (mget) and
uploading (mput).

 pls see below.

For downloading,

That means both downloading and uploading work fine with command line mode.
But via web browser, I only can download, but no uploading is possible? Why
? How can I solve this issue?

Make sure your web browser supports ftp file uploading.

If you?re using Firefox, take a look at this addon:
http://fireftp.mozdev.org/

I?ve never used it, just try and tell us. If it doesn?t work, google around
for a better one.
