Hi trilok


Please see if you have any network errors:


netstat -in


Also try to do a traceroute from one server to the server with slow ftp and analise the rout.


Reply with the output of commands if you have any doubt

Shalom,

There are a number of possible causes for this issue.
1) Server A may be missing a self resolution entry in /etc/hosts . While not strictly necessary, often slowdowns of this type can be resolved by adding a few /etc/hosts entries, for the server itself at the least.
2) DNS response could be slow. make sure the DNS servers have correct information in them for Server A.
3) There could be a problem with routers or router configuration between server A and the network.
4) Network configuration. Check lanadmin -x ## Replace ## with the number from the lan entry. Use lanadmin to hist lan interfaces. Ideal output for lanadmin -x should be full duplex.
