For example, a 6k file taking about 20 minutes (yes, minutes) to upload (ASCII mode). Sometimes, if I wait long enough, the file is transferred, indicating that file/directory permissions are okay. FTP gets from the same client to the same server over the same network are fine. Background: client is a Windows 95 machine, path is ethernet 10baseT with virtually no traffic. On a 9206 byte file I just uploaded, here's what I got. It took over 30 minutes from the "put" was started until "Transfer complete" was displayed. The transfer time reported at that point by the ftp client was 9346 bytes in 101.23 seconds. Doing a status on the ftp client immediately following the transfer shows: Type: ascii; Verbose: On; Bell: Off; Prompting: On; Globbing: On Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient knowledge of FreeBSD or FTP to attempt to diagnose the problems except superficially. Suggestions as to the problem or guidance in troubleshooting it are appreciated. Thanks. Ken welk@mem.net
