from your webserver to the FTP server and transfering the files to your 
webclient over the http protocol

leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an 
unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the 
attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other 
attacks.the exploit is tested on PhpWebFtp v2.3.

Method relative to the path of phpWebftp ie. 
http://www.anysite.com/PhpWebFtp/index.php?
