ProFTPD is So SLOOOWWWWWW!

[lschafroth]

I had the same problem with ProFTPD when using ispcontrol panel.

The fix was to add:
UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off

Those are already in the proftpd.conf file and using the ftp server is useless it is so slow. If you double click on a directory you can go get coffee, put in the creamer, stir, come back, grab the paper on the way and get back just in time to see it finally go into the directory you wanted, which has about 3 files in it.

PS Running Debian Etch, ispcp RC7. System before that which worked with the settings above was CentOS 5.2

And why did you changed it ?
Means that ispCP comes per default with a fast Proftpd ?

Or maybe you can compile PureFTPd is much more faster

Which "same" Problem ?

Means that you "fixed" (changed) this or not ?

There was a Thread in the German Section -> http://www.isp-control.net/forum/showthr...8#pid44198
The Problem was/is the new Proftp Config which includes the customer files.

Code:

Include /etc/proftpd/ispcp/*

Try to disable this in your config, restart proftp and test it again.

[simple]

I have to dig this up again: what the threadstarter meant at the beginning: with older versions of icpcp you could add

Code:

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off

to the proftpd.conf and the login was fast again. This does not help with the final version.
Like BeNe suggested I disabled the line

Code:

#Include /etc/proftpd/ispcp/*

and the login was a lot faster (3 sec. instead of 10 sec.).

However the line is included in the standard config, and even 3 seconds is pretty much for a simple login. The server has around 200 domains, that should not be too much. Any solutions?

Changing the standard config would be mandatory, as an option with this much (negative) influence on the speed of any component should be disabled by default.[/code]
