If you were really interested in finding out the cause of any slowness experienced, I would suggest testing either with a different intermediate device or better yet, simply use a cross-over cable (which is not the same as a straight cable used to connect to your router device...), & simply connect the client directly to the server. Again, the point is to reduce the number of variables involved. |

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" |

& thank you so much for your helpful hints !!! |

Now that you have a configuration which exhibits behavior which appears acceptable, add new variables (wireless, etc.) one at a time testing after each addition. If you add everything all at once as it was before, you will have little to no idea as to what is the root cause of your previous performance issue(s). If you are patient enough to iteratively add a single variable back into your network followed by testing, you will possibly discover:
