    Hi 2gether,

    I have a strange problem with FTP. If I access my (ISPConfig)Server from outside, that means from the WAN, it runs normaly (I guess this is normal speed at least...Even though it could be much faster..). But if I access it via LAN it's veeery very slow. It must be some network/firewall issue.

    Has anyone any clue?

    BTW: my ISPConfig-Server is in the DMZ and therefore my LAN client is in a different subnet..but there should be no restrictions vom the LAN->DMZ from the firewall. I have disabled the ISPConfig firewall too.

    So I don't know where's the problem actually..

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx in advance,
    P@sco

    Have you disabled DNS-Lookups in your proftpd.conf?

    Have you tried to use "Passive Transfers" in your FTP client? Normally that helps. :)

    Nice info, thanks :D . No it's a looot faster! So it's some kind of firewall issue, I think...

    I have about 4-5 MB/s on my 100 Mbit/s Network (LAN) now...I think that's normal...

    (I've read some trick somewhere to bring it near to the "theory" of 100 MBit/s or 12.5 MBytes/s, but that's a long time ago, don't know the link anymore. It depends also on the nic, duplex-mode etc. I guess)

    Thx so much, the main problem is solved! ;-)

    GrZ, p@sco

    a little off topic... but on my LAN at home i get around 10mbyte/s .... but it depends on your type router, configuration of servers and cable length ;)
