proftpd login problem with list

Hi,

when i or a user log in with the ftp password, proftpd takes a while to show the directories. The login hangs on the "List" command. There is a little break up to 1 second. But there is no regularity in it. Sometimes the login process is very fast.

I googled and tryed the command "DelayEngine = off", but after restart nothing is better.

Whats the problem and how to solve it ?

Have you tried both active and passive mode in your ftp client?

 

Hi,

yes of course. Thats what i tried, too:

I add the following lines and restart the ftp server

/etc/proftpd.conf:

<global>
IdentLookups off
DelayEngine off
</global>

thats right ?, because there was no global section .....

but no change in the speed of directory listing.

Hi,

problem solved ....

i simply add this at /etc/proftpd.conf and restarted the server ;-) after changing the servername in /ets/hostname from srv.example.com to srv.

UseReverseDNS off

and everything works like a harm. But i takes 12 h to find out for me. At the other site /etc/hostname /hostname /etc/resolv.conf have to have the right dns settings just like bind9.
