If you configure de FTP server as an anonymous server ¿why the automatic login from browser is not right for you? The described behaviour of the browser (IE in this case) is perfectly "normal" according to FTP server config.
There's nothing inherintly wrong with the way the FTP server's behaving at the moment (well, this *could* be open to discussion), it seems the default is anonymous enabled. However, that's not how Rajeev wanted it to behave, why that's not right for him is down to his individual environment and users... "In short the server doesn't prompt for username when I type the ftp address on the address bar. Instead it takes you to public folder. Is there any way I could get the login prompt when typing the ftp address? Any help would be really appreciated." Personally, I disable anoymous access to FTP as a matter of course, and wherever possible use SCP/SFTP with RSSH to chroot if I can.
