I am now working on my second plesk server, but I think I am noticing something that I thought was an actual problem with my other provider. When uploading via FTP files, like folders that are just an average 5-8K size it seems to take forever. There are only like 20 files in these folders yet it seems forever. So with plesk is the FTP uploads always slow?

Does this have something to do with the port (32961) that it connects to, I am using WS_FTP LE to doing my transfers.

Is there a way to speed up the transfers or any advice for this slowness?


Second, I would like to monitor my bandwith using MTRG graphs, have found the page, wanted to know if anyone has done this on plesk and any recomendations on installing it.


BTW, I withstood the Rackshack challenge I looked and looked and looked but resisted in the end for another provider. Hopefully things work out great and I can let everyone know who it is.

You can try adding the two following statements to your proftpd.conf file.

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off

This will speed up the initial ftp connection. I'm not sure if it will help with the problem you are describing.
