Hi,
My application has to accept small files from an ftp client at a rate of
several 10s per second. vsftpd does it easily, FtpServer sits stuck at
5/s. Some googling and a hunch led to:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01005.html
After hardcoding it to setTcpNodelay(true) exactly as suggested,
FtpServer slightly exceeds vsftpd's throughput.
Seems like the control connection should always have Nagle turned off.
The data connection may be a matter for debate or configuration. Does
the above patch apply to both?
Some extra info in case it helps:
* driven from a test client using commons-net's ftp client on
Windows Vista, and tftp on cygwin.
* vsftpd and FtpServer both running on Debian 5.0 x64.
* FtpServer running on Vista and being driven from localhost runs
about twice as fast as on linux, but is still slow. It also
benefits from the patch.
