Another thing to try, something I always recommend for people using web browsers to connect to ftp sites that are not anonymous, is to ftp with this url: ftp://<username>:<password>@address/path/ Of course don't include the <>'s nate

How would one go about disabling web browsers to access ftp like that? Setting in vsftp or playing with apache? I know a little off topic, but kinda spooked me.
