ftp is very slow and asks for user/passwd continuously

    I installed ISPConfig 2.2.24 on CentOS 5.1 following "The perfect setup".
    I created a ftp user for the only site I have and it seems to be ok either with
    WS_FTP pro or ISPConfig ftp.
    The webmaster told me that ftp (FileZilla) is very slow and it asks for username and password continuously. ftp can upload 5-10 files very quickly and the it stops for 20-30 seconds.
    He tried to upload the site (drupal) but he got "internal server error".
    Any idea of the problem?
    thank you.

    These are Apache logs. I need FTP-related errors or warnings.

    Hi falko

    the output of grep is:
    web1_fpuglia:x:10001:10001:federico puglia:/var/www/web1:/bin/bash

    At the present I can't access my site from the ISPConfig ftp panel, but I can from an external ftp program

    Does the password contain any special characters?
    What happens when you comment out the line
    Code:
    Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf
    at the end of your /etc/proftpd.conf and restart ProFTPd?
