Proftpd Inside Network (Very Slow)

[zer0_g666]

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?

If you have hostname lookups enabled in your proftpd.conf, try to disbale it.

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

Ive tried both on and off and it doesnt seem to make any difference

Maybe it's the firewall on your workstation that's causing the problem. Have you tried to disable it?

Did you have a low transfer rate or did it take very long when you connect to the FTP server?
