Topic: FTP performance through SME Server and Ip Forwarding

[David MONDON]

Hi,

I've successfully configured ipforwarding on my SME Server in order to host my FTP directory on a computer inside the LAN.
(Thnks again M. Brummel )

But, I've noticed a very bad performance of this solution !!!

Before i set up my SME Server, users accessed the FTP very quickly.....now the should wait 3mn before receiving file list !!!!

I've been told to add my FTP host ip in '/etc/hosts'... but I do not know the format.....

is it:

'SME server local ip:port' 'ftp computer local ip:port'

or is the format

'ftp computer local ip:port' 'ftp.xxx.xxx:port'    (xxx.xxx = my domain)

or smthing else ???

Thx in advance

Did you try adding your internal server to the the "Hostnames and addresses" list from the server manager? This should imho help.

after verification, I had my hostname and adress already added:

Hostname Visibility (*) Location      Local IP          Global IP      Ethernet address
ftp             Local          Local     xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx     none         xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

I can't change the visibility since I don't have any permanent Ip adress for internet nor Service Link...

any other idea ?
