Mel and Will,
I had tried both the option. It doesn't work either.
But when we disable the anonymous access how come IE could login to pub
folder (which is under /var/ftp/pub).
Thanks
Rajeev

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.
Will.
