FTP access slow using proftpd 1

[rninja]

I am using proftpd and I would like to know if there is a way to speed up access to the ftp server. It's on a nice fast connection, but it hangs for like 10-20 seconds after connection, then it completes the login process.

Thanks for any help! Rninja

Proftpd by default will perform a reverse DNS lookup on any IP address connecting.

Add

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off

to your proftp.conf file. That will get rid of the pause on login.

Exactly what I needed to know!

yeah, if you put your server behind a router or firewall it will pause like that.
