Your web browser is just logging in as anonymous... you need to set up an
anonymous section in your proftpd.conf.  If you actually want to be able
to do more than download files from an anonymous area, you may have to
specify your username/password in the FTP URL in your browser.  I forget
the exact syntax, but you should be able to find it on the net somewhere
without a lot of trouble.
