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?
