reason why I wanted ftp://127.0.0.1/ or ftp://<IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_MACHINE>, It is because not every one can use nautilus since not every one is on linux. I have properly followed the following guides and it seems there is some thing I have to add to ma installation to have it work through a web browser as the guides have put it clearly. the links are: http://gofedora.com/how-to-configure-secure-ftp-server-vsftpd/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91887 http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-vsftpd-ftp-service-server/ https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
As I had mentioned in the first mail, the command line ftp is working perfectly well, but not every one is going to use it. People want the Web Browser thing..
