Description

FileZilla Server 0.9.5 is incredibly slow. I was
running it for and FTP server, but have since swapped
it out for WARFTPd 1.82.0.10 because of the following
performance numbers (notice that FileZilla is almost 3
times slower than WARFTPd, and Microsoft FTP is only
about 1 sec slower than WARFTPd):

FileZilla Server 0.9.5:


ftp> get catalog.pdf
200 Port command successful
150 Opening data channel for file transfer.
226 Transfer OK
ftp: 42509572 bytes received in 18.24Seconds
2330.95Kbytes/sec.

Microsoft FTP Server 5.1 (XP):


ftp> get catalog.pdf
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for
catalog.pdf(42509572 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 42509572 bytes received in 8.14Seconds
5221.02Kbytes/sec.

WARFTPd 1.82.00-RC10:


ftp> get catalog.pdf
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for catalog.pdf
(42509572 bytes).
226 Transfer complete. 42509572 bytes in 7.00 sec.
(5930.465 Kb/s)

Please have a look at the transfer buffer option in the
settings dialog. The default is 4096 which works best on
most systems. You may have to modify this value, especially
if you have modified any options of your TCP/IP stack or are
using the useless, so-called internet accellerators.

Thanks for the response. Performance has improved
signicantly by increasing the transfer buffer to 16384.

Is there a reason why the default is 4096? I'm assuming
that the buffer is allocated for each connection. If this
is true, I would assume this is done to conserve memory?

The default buffer sizes have since been increased.
