FTP User session connect lag time

[wilcal]

My question is probably more about asking which

cong file I should be editing. When an external machine

be it an XP/SmartFTP (choke), Linux or Slowaris

attempts to connect to my Linux box (Mandriva lE 2005)

there is a lag time between when the external box

issues it's User Name and Password and the server

responds and opens the Users directory structure.

That lag time appears to be in the many seconds

as in about 20. Where is the conf file that allows

you to change that ( 5 secs, 1 sec ) or make it 0

seconds?

 

I own a D-link DCS-3220G Network Camera, a fun toy,

and it is not able to FTP single images into the LE

server. I suspect because of the lag time. Looking

at the auth.log here is an excerpt.

 

Aug 14 10:03:54 localhost ftp(pam_unix)[21675]: session opened for user wilcal by (uid=0)

Aug 14 10:03:54 localhost proftpd[21675]: localhost (192.168.0.99[192.168.0.99]) - USER wilcal: Login successful.

Aug 14 10:03:54 localhost ftp(pam_unix)[21675]: session closed for user wilcal

Aug 14 10:04:04 localhost ftp(pam_unix)[21716]: session opened for user wilcal by (uid=0)

Aug 14 10:04:04 localhost proftpd[21716]: localhost (192.168.0.99[192.168.0.99]) - USER wilcal: Login successful.

Aug 14 10:04:04 localhost ftp(pam_unix)[21716]: session closed for user wilcal

 

The Camera has been instructed to FTP a single image

every 10 seconds, connects, then disconnects without

transmitting the image. I suspect because Mandriva waits (lags)

some given period of time before allowing the user

to upload a file, in this case an image.

 

When LE opens an FTP session for a external User, in this case wilcal,

that user must be able to immediately transfer a file.

 

Thanks
