RE: [squid-users] Slow ftp access through web browser.

Hi Leiven,

Do a manual ftp from my machine works very quickly... its not as slow as the
web browser!

what does this suggest?

all requests from outside my network on port 138 are denied (is this
dropping or rejecting?)

Thanks

Kamesh

Try a manual ftp from the machine on which you're running squid and
see how long this takes. Two suspects are reverse dns resolving for
the ip address of your squid server and that the ftp server is trying
to do an ident identification which your firewall is dropping instead
of rejecting.
