My FTP connection is extremely slow! My HTTP, SSH, mail is all normal... Why would my FTP connections get slow? I haven't done anything to the FTPd, other than change the location where site admin go...

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes a slow FTP is caused by reverse-DNS lookups timing out.

How do I correct it? Do I need to add or remove entries? We recently switched ISPs; but use the same box. The only thing I can think of is that the reverse-DNS is looking at my old IP address...

How do I correct this, or will the bugs work them self out in a matter of time (not optimal)

Can I just recreate all the reverse lookup records in my DNS server? (optimal)

Thanks!

If you want to reverseDNS lookups OFF in ProFTPd, then add the following two lines to the very end of the proftpd.conf file:

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off

The proftpd.conf file is found in the RaQ3's etc dir (I can't say for sure if this is the same on RaQ4's, etc.)

Note that it's a good idea to BACKUP your original config file before making changes. ;)

Whlie reviewing some config files I found where my ISP was using their DNS server; so I switched it to my DNS and it started working properly! Imagine that! :)

Now I just have to solve my email problem... :confused:

Thanks!
