I install proftpd on a VPS running Debian 7.5 hosted on Linode.com. The server location is in California (US) while I am remoting from Singapore.
The server is on SSD and I am using ADSL 100Mbs connection (supposed to be fast).
However I realize the speed of FTP directory listing is pretty slow - it takes 2-3 seconds to navigate between folders.
Meanwhile I have another FTP server (running FileZilla) located in South East Asia, running on a normal HDD - the directory listing is way faster.
Is there anyway I can improve the speed of directory listing in proftpd ?
