I am a new user of Fedora core 2 after having been a Mandrake user for several years. When I log on to vsftpd using WS_FTP LE from Windows/XP it takes nearly a minute. When I try uploading a directory of files it is very slow and seems to want to change port numbers after every file. The individual file transfers seem to be be going OK, there is just a long delay between the start of each upload. I am running the stock Fedora core 2 installation with no changes to the default configuration file. All activity is on a local LAN. I am able to transfer the same directory to a Mandrake 9.2 installation with proftpd in less than a minute, I cancelled the operation using vsftpd after about 30 minutes with only about 10% complete. I have the same WS_FTD LE login options for both systems. Any help appreciated. Roger __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
