Very slow FTP downloads with Proftpd
I am using Debian Sarge with Proftpd running on it downstairs (PC-A). Upstairs I have a Windooz PC with Filezilla (PC-B).
The problem is that when I download files from downstairs (from PC-A) to upstairs (to PC-B) the connection is very slow (approx. 60kB) while I use an internal network. Downloading with B from the internet gives a speed of 500kB with cable. ifconfig on PC-A gives: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:CA:xx:yy:zz inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9304963 errors:554468 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1075106 TX packets:11496371 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3089111465 (2.8 GiB) TX bytes:2863094896 (2.6 GiB) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1080 Downloading from the internet with PC-A also has a 500 kB speed. The strange is that when I download multiple files simultaniously from PC-A to PC-B with Filezilla the speed of each file remains approx approx 60kB. The total bandwith in this situation can be up to 400kB. Is this a hardware problem of PC-A looking at the errors or is it a software/settings problem? I searched this forum and with google but I could not find a solution to it. In proftpd.conf the following is switched off: UseReverseDNS off IdentLookups off And I do not use the TransferRate directive in the conf files. What could it be? |
may be the problem is the sftp setting in filezilla....have you setted some encription??

Thanks loboautoma for your reply.
None. I happened also with ws_ftp on my Windooz. That is (ao., I prefer OSS!) why I switched to Filezilla. ws_ftp could handle only one connection, but Filezilla can do more then one connection at the same server. With this work-around I can get more data from my wife's PC downstairs to burn it overhere. It seems to be a problem of the PC-A, Debian, the NIC, Proftpf or inetd. I could not find a solution yet! |
