FTp -- WTF ?!?!

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, I have SuSe 8.2 pretty much running ok on the laptop. This is
a -out-of-the-box SuSe 8.2 Professional.
  Except:

I have installed ProFtpd and I use inetd instead of xinet.

ftp'ing TO the laptop and attempting to upload something like a 5K file takes
about 4 seconds on a 100MB ethernet network. A 300 MB directory takes OVER
4 hours.

Conversely, I can ftp FROM the laptop to my Workstation/Server running SuSe
8.0 modified and the same file is instanous. The 300MB directory comes across
in less than a minute and 30 seconds.

Any IDEAS on this one ?
