Hello,

1. May be a reverse DNS problem. Try connecting to the remote server with ip address rather than hostname.

2. Try restarting ftpd

3. check syslog messages for any clues

All the best.

Hi,
you may also check the route via nslookup
and ping.

Hi !

DNS, ping and telnet is ok. When ftp server is says connected but getting the prompt takes quite a while.

What is your DNS resolving order ? Is nslookup fast ? (in the two ways)

It's fast both ways.

And what about transfert ? It may be you have high collisions on your network.

Hi !
I've checked the interface on the switch and everything seems ok. Authentication may be the problem?

Have you checked the duplex of the systems?
