Vsftpd Not showing icons

Hi guys.

I have configured ftp server with vsftpd. now here is the crazy question:
vsftpd does not show icons besides folders and files and also it doesn't show folder sizes.

Your ftp client displays icons, not vsftpd.

For folder sizes -- are you referring to the sum of the sizes of the files contained in a folder? Or the size of the directory itself?

by Folder size i mean sum of the sizes of files contained in the folder.

I use firefox for connecting ftp server, but it shows some icons, not all og them.

I cannot respond to what firefox does or does show when displaying the contents of a directory. I have to admit that I normally use a command line ftp client. As far as "folder size", some ftp clients will descend through subdirectories and calculate the size, some don't. It is not a function that FTP provides.

if you are not comforatble using ftp in browser, then try <winscp software> ftp session, once you connect it can list folders with size on ftp server.
