Hi, When trying out the apache ftp server, observed that for file transfers are slow, when the user logged in is anyone other than the default "admin". This difference is huge with respect to the overall time taken ( almost 4 times slower)..Is there a specific cause for this to happen?
Attaching below the client transcripts -- Notice the difference in the transfer rates for "guest" and "admin"... This was run on the same system , tried just a few minutes apart. Do let me know in case any other information is required... C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ftp 9.184.236.33 Connected to 9.184.236.33. 220 Service ready for new user. User (9.184.236.33:(none)): guest 331 User name okay, need password for guest.
