Re: ftp server

["R.M. Evers" <debian@hbh-it.nl>]

hi robert,

it sounds to me like the client's trying to connect in PASV mode, then
fails because of incorrect firewall settings (or a server not supporting
PASV), and falls back to PORT mode after a while. try switching off PASV
mode in the client, and see if it's still slow.

regards,
