proftpd pauses at Connection established, waiting for welcome message?

I found that there was a pause when connection to my FTP server. It would pause at “Connection established, waiting for welcome message…” this was driving me nuts as I use “Upload to FTP upon save” in dreamweaver to put all my files onto my test server.

This applies to Ubuntu Server 7.10

The pause occurs when proftpd is trying to identify the remote username and here is the solution:

  1. edit /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
  2. Find the <Global></Global> section at the end of the document
  3. Add the following between <Global></Global> : IdentLookups off

Don’t forget to restart proftpd.

Glad it helped! Whilst it’s not recommend for a Live server, it defiantly speeds up your work on a development server!
