Vicky’s server guides

I have been noticing a very annoying delay when trying to log in via FTP on servers where I use proftpd. Everything works, but when I try to connect, 5 – 10 seconds pass by before I’m prompted for my login credentials. After long hour of searching on the internet I found a solution.

 All you need to do is edit the config file which should be /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf  and place this line within <global> section:

 IdentLookups Off

 That should remove the delay and your ftp connection will be initialized very quickly.
