You have to disable anonymous logins (add the 'ftp' user to to /etc/ftpusers). If MSIE is able to log in anonymously when given a plain ftp://host URL, it will not display a login box (since it doesn't need to). ProFTPD probably has anonymous logins disabled by default. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
