Hi ocicat ! good news .. I've done exactly what you prescribed : a fresh OpenBSD install on both machines (Acer Aspire & iBook ) .. wired connection .. result was : very fast FTP serving . Here is my network diagram :
Network ----> Router (192.168.1.1 )
------> Acer aspire [bce0] (192.168.1.2 netmask 255.25.255.0) as FTP server
------> iBook [gem0] (192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0) as FTP client
I run Ftpd as daemon not via inetd.
/etc/rc.conf.local line :
Code:
ftpd_flags="-DllUSA"
I'll see if the same speed is gained with wpi0 (Acer Ftp server) ----> rum0 (iBook Ftp client) .. if it's the same then maybe remain : ftpproxy and pf.conf to suspect .
