Hello! Sorry for poor english. I hope you will understand my problem. I installed the debian 3.1 + ISP config (perfect setup tutorial). Everything worked excellent!! But now my ftp and ssh connections very very slow!! I start the putty, asks the username, and here comes the waiting after 70sec the asks the password FTP: [08:02:13] LIST -aL [08:04:30] 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list [08:04:30] 2123 bytes transferred. (211 bájt/s) (00:00:10) [08:04:30] 226 Transfer complete. can you help me? thx gili
1. First check the ping to your server. 2. Is your server in your local network? If not, check the speed of your internet connection. 3. Maybe server is running some script all the time, and is very busy because of that. Maybe you added any jobs in "crontab"? 4. type "top" to your console, and check which process takes lots of memory 5. Try to reboot the server. Hope it helps..,
Not sure if you have more IP's on the server (like virtual NIC's with IP's), but if so, try connecting to the 1st IP (the one running on eth0) When I FTP to one of my virtual NIC's the system is also slow, but as soon as I use the 1st real NIC, it's fast as hell! I have no clue what is causing this..
Any errors in your log files related to your problem? Could be a firewall problem. What's the output of Code: netstat -tap and Code: iptables -L ?
Same on my Debian 3.1 with Proftpd. Not a matter of RAM or CPU (2GB RAM and 3GHz CPU, <2% load) but connecting to the second ip on the NIC is slow. Transfer speed is good but it takes 5-10 seconds between connection is established and the greeting and username/password prompt. Not a clue as to what is causing it. Just strange and annoying... //Erk
Not really adding a solution here but I have noticed ftp and ssh running slow, if I connect to the control panel its fine but ftp really slow. I have similar spec machine and I have suse 10 64bit installed.
gili, I had the same problem when I started to use an other firewall with IPtables.. I do not know if you are using an other firewall, or the one from ISPconfig. If so.. Try as test dissabling the firewall, and see if this will speed up the login verification. If it does speed up, try using the ISPconfig firewall option (in Management > Services > Firewall) and see if all is still okay.
Thanks but the problem is not solved! Hello, Sorry for the late answer, I try your tips, but nothing changed! Active, Passive nothing chaged! Firewall, I use only ISPConfig's firewall, and if I stop that, or Start that, nothing changed.

Maybe the firewall on your client computer causes the problem... You might try to disable it for testing purposes.
Hmmm.... Thank Falko, I turn off the firewall in my computer, the time of connect is better. But not perfect! If anybody has something good idea, please write me! Good Bye Gili
Hi, For guys who have slow login to ftp try to disable Ident in Proftpd - is should helps. Best regards, MvincM
Ok but where I need disable this IDENT Ok but where I need disable this IDENT? And I found that: /var/log/debug: :41 debian proftpd[5894]: debian.bozeti.hu (87.97.92.42.pool.invitel.hu[87.97.92.42]) - mod_delay/0.4: delaying for 13 usecs :41 debian proftpd[5894]: debian.bozeti.hu (87.97.92.42.pool.invitel.hu[87.97.92.42]) - mod_delay/0.4: delaying for 22 usecs What is that, and where I need disable this? Where can I found some log from proftpd, and which is the main config, and is this /etc/proftpd.conf? Can I change this? How to restart proftpd? Because I make this /etc/init.d/proftpd restart I get error message: .. - warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (193.202.63.97:21) already in use by "Debian" too much question Please help me! Thanks for much help! Byz Gili
Yesssssssssssss! I solve that!!!!!!! I have a some problem with reverse dns! I wrote that to proftpd.conf UseReverseDNS off And thats works!! Thaks for all! Bye Gili
I have similar problems, but this time only with FTP. Connecting to SSH works fast. On my other servers (FreeBSD) slow connection-setups to ProFTP were solved by adding "UseReverseDNS off" but somehow this doesn't help on the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS I'm running now (in combination with a windows client). The problem should be somewhere on the client. I used several ftp clients including the command line, firewalls and internet rules are triple checked and switched on/off. The strange thing is that connections to other servers are quick (as well as connecting to ssh on this ubuntu server). The tranfser speeds once connected are all good, but I just can't connect within 15 seconds which is quite irritating. Identlookups and ReverseDNS are of. Is there anything I overlooked in the settings for my server, or are there other things I can check on my client?
are they off in the <Global></Global> section as described here http://howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=49809&postcount=7
Wow, That has to be the best fix i've seen in a while. I just thought I had a slow connection, but it is like lightening now. Is there any toll with turning off reversedns?
