Yeah it's sad but apache is serving a php page to connecto to a FTP server on the same machine. It's supposed to be another kind of access for customers. Not all customers know how to use an ftp program correctly, so i want to offer 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.

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. -- J. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
