FTP was working great up until a couple weeks ago. Running RedHat 7.3 with wu-2.6.2-5 for FTP. Absolutely nothing has changed on this server. It is an important server in our environment, but not used all that much. Even if I FTP to localhost from this machine, it takes a good 30 seconds to prompt for the username.....any ideas? I need to get this working ASAP. thanks.
Ping is super fast, ssh not setup. running 'top' shows nothing taking up CPU. It's a dual processor and both show 99.8% idle CPU. Seems to be just FTP.
You shouldn't have to do this, but have you tried restarting the FTP daemon? (I'm not sure how to in red hat, should be in services somewhere). And can you get a newer minor version of the daemon with your version of red hat?
Also, can you get to the FTP daemon's logfile? What about strange messages in dmesg? Maybe it's running into some kind of error that causes the delay.
I have never seen this problem before, but maybe with some more information the issue will become clear.
