#2 Connection problem

[Anonymous]

I use WebFTP with Apache 2 on a RH9 Based system
I installed it correctly (the problem is the same weither i
use 2.2 or 1.5.2 version of WebFTP).
When i click on login, nothing happens... the browser
seems to try and do something...but in vain...
When i ps aux, i see
/usr/bin/perl /var/www/cgi-bin/web-ftp.cgi
and the ftp daemon with the right login....

Thx if u can help...

I've spent hours on this one. I finally found the solution in an
old post. This may or may not work for all cases.

Problem: Web-ftp works fine from unix but in Win IE after you
enter the login information the browser just hangs and goes
nowhere.

Solution: (well one that worked for me)
Edit "web-ftp.cgi" to close the "STDERR"
Open web-ftp.cgi and look for "close STDOUT;" and "&Serve;"
In between those add "close STDERR;", looks like this-

close STDOUT;
close STDERR;
&Serve;

If after you edit the .cgi file it does not work, open it
with "vi" and check for "^M" at the end of most lines. Some
text editors put them in to symbolize a carriage return. If this
happens, while in "vi" editor, type a colon " : " and then type
%s/[ctrl]v[ctrl]m//g and hit enter. "[ctlr]v" means hold down
the Control Key and press v. it will look like this %s/^M//g.
This will remove the all the "^M". After this, do a colon " : "
and type "wq" (without the quotes). This will write the file
and quit.

*Note to the developer
This is a great program. I've been looking for a program like
this. I use it to transfer files (to big to pass through e-mail)
to people I do tech work for.
