Proftpd works perfectly outside the network but inside it is very slow, it always takes 8seconds to upload a file, i was wondering if this is normal? .. or is there some i can change to fix this ? Cheers
Where is proftpd located? Inside or outside your network? Have you tried both active and passive mode? What's in /var/log/xferlog?
Im on the same network as the server, i.e. server ip 192.128.0.2 and me pc 192.128.4, both active and passive are the same. its not the actual speed of the file transfers its the time it takes to exe a command, it always takes 8 seconds before it will start the transfer and 8 seconds just for a dir listing. In the xferlog it doesnt seem to show any errors at all ... Outside my network where my server ip would be 80.127.122.*** the ftp server works fine, nice and fast, i was just wondering if its because im working on the same network and there is a fix i can apply or if a fault ..... Cheers
Maybe it's the firewall on your workstation that's causing the problem. Have you tried to disable it?
the transfers are fast its just the commands take ages to execute ... Status: Connecting to 192.168.0.4 ... Status: Connected with 192.168.0.4. Waiting for welcome message... (takes 8secs here) Response: 220 Gemini FTP Server ready. Command: USER web1_kd3sign Response: 331 Password required for web1_kd3sign.

I fixed it, it was cos i didnt have the name servers setup correctly ... soon as i put in the right ip address it fixed it, now its fast cheers for your help
If you are having this problem! : I searched and searched for an answer to this. On a server running ProFTPd in certain configurations you can see a very slow load time (up to a minute or more) while listing the directory contents. This can be sped up greatly by adding these commands to the bottom of your ProFTPd configuration file. This is generally located in /etc/proftpd.conf: Code: IdentLookups off UseReverseDNS off ListOptions "" maxdepth 3 ListOptions "" maxdirs 10 ListOptions "" maxfiles 1000 AllowOverride off Save the conf file and restart ProFTPd.
