    I've got another problem with my new installation. I'm using Proftpd as FTP service and all is working well. But when i try to upload a large amount of files, it gives me a time-out connection...

    This is my current proftpd configuration file:
    Code:
    ServerName                      "Debian"
    ServerType                      standalone
    DeferWelcome                    off
    
    MultilineRFC2228                on
    DefaultServer                   on
    ShowSymlinks                    on
    UseReverseDNS                   off
    TimeoutNoTransfer               600
    TimeoutStalled                  600
    TimeoutIdle                     1200
    
    DisplayLogin                    welcome.msg
    DisplayFirstChdir               .message
    ListOptions                     "-l"
    
    DenyFilter                      \*.*/
    
    DefaultRoot ~
    IdentLookups off
    ServerIdent on                  "Younghosting FTP Server."
    
    
    # Uncomment this if you are using NIS or LDAP to retrieve passwords:
    #PersistentPasswd               off
    
    # Uncomment this if you would use TLS module:
    #TLSEngine                      on
    
    # Uncomment this if you would use quota module:
    #Quotas                         on
    
    # Uncomment this if you would use ratio module:
    #Ratios                         on
    
    # Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
    Port                            21
    
    # To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
    # to 30.  If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
    # at once, simply increase this value.  Note that this ONLY works
    # in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
    # that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
    # (such as xinetd)
    MaxInstances                    30
    
    # Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
    User                            nobody
    Group                           nogroup
    
    # Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new files and dirs
    # (second parm) from being group and world writable.
    Umask                           022  022
    # Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
    AllowOverwrite                  on
    
    # Delay engine reduces impact of the so-called Timing Attack described in
    # http://security.lss.hr/index.php?page=details&ID=LSS-2004-10-02
    # It is on by default.
    DelayEngine                     on
    
    Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf
    
    One other thing, do i need to enable the quota module in here?


    Thanks alot!

    Is there no error message in your logs?
    Have you tried both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?
