[Q] What should I configure to increase transfer-rate in proftpd configuration ??

[Tony, Lim]

It's not a dedicated HPUX problem.

I'm using proftp applications for ftp server.

Usually, I set default value in proftpd.conf.

But, our user via WAN repeatedly are complaining low ftp performance.

So, I did change NIC of ftp server, 10MB half to 100MB full duplex.

But, It have the same result, too late to use.

Our firewall admin said that network bandwidth is enough, but ftp session is using just parts of all bandwidth, not all.

And, additionally he said, in ftp configuration, there are some parameters to limit or allow to increase / decrease ftp bandwidth.

Please, let me know what parameter in proftpd.conf will increase ftp session (ftp performance improving) / bandwidth.

We are still trying to find out firewall, network, server's configuration on both side.

So, just concentrate proftpd.conf in this time.

And tell me how to solve ....

Thanks in advance.
