proftpd slow when transfering many small files - lucasgirod - 09-03-2009 05:56 PM I know there are already many posts on proftpd - but i haven't found the solution to my problem. My problem is the following: Transfering lots of small files takes extremely long. I'm on Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) with the current ispcp trunk installed and ProFTPD 1.3.1. I reinstalled the entire system (including Ubuntu) but the problem stays. My configuration is quite ispcp-default. My "investigation" of the problem lead me to the following things: -default ispcp proftpd configuration loads mod_radius.c and mod_quotatab_radius.c in modules.conf => why? -according to proftpd -n -d5 every STOR-command is sent to the following modules of which I don't understand why: -mod_tls -mod_sql running these modules takes time for every file - no? I also set DelayEngine to off - didn't help. Just to make sure the problems are proftpd-related i installed pureftpd and the problem was gone.. but I want to stay with the "default" ispcp configuration. Copyinging files with SCP takes 15 Mins - copying them with proftpd more than 1 day... Any ideas?

About 7000 files takes 15 min's RE: proftpd slow when transfering many small files - kilburn - 09-03-2009 10:57 PM Which client are you using? I suspect that it opens one connection per file or something like this, extremely slowing things downs. Try downloading with filezilla with a "10" max connections setting for example, it should be much faster.
