them another way to connect via browser directly.




... so allow them to use a browser directly.
Why does there have to be FTP in between ?

Apache excels at serving files.

Hi guys i'm currently using a php script (Net2FTP) as a web
FTP client. But i'm experiencing some issues when i try to
access big files.
I know this is an Apache list but I've already asked in
proftpd forums and net2ftp forums and nobody could help me.


So let me get this straight - you're using apache to serve a PHP
page that connects to an FTP server ON THE SAME MACHINE to
transfer files over the network ?

Wow.

Really - wow.


When i try to access a big file (1GB or more) from my web
server through apache2 directly it works well i get the
download start immediately.
When i access a big file connecting to my proftpd server
through a normal client like Filezilla i get no problem too,
it works as intended.

The problem occurs when i connect through net2ftp script.


Contact its author and ask him to fix it.


Connection and file listing it's ok. But when i try to get a
big file, is when i get the issue. It takes for e.g 15minutes
to serve the net2ftp script client a 500Mb file.


Obviously the bad script tries to retrieve the FTP file completely
before serving it via apache.
Try it with a file larger than you have virtual memory.
The process should die.


I think the problem is the connection between apache2 and proftpd.


No, it's not. it's the bad script.

i'm experiencing some issues when i try to access big files.

Watching the processes with "top" on my server i get something like this.

While my server is trying to serve the file it also totally blocks the
apache2 server.

I've tried looking for apache2 config, php5 config and proftpd configs. And
I'm going mad at this point.

I don't know if there's any option to make apache2 use more memory for php
scripts, but i've already edited php config to use more memory on request
etc.. I've also checked max execution time, timeouts etc...

Thank you very much all of you in advance.

Best regards,
Guille.
