Now let's see the instructions for installing the new Pure-FTPd version. If somebody has the time to test every release between 1.0.21 and 1.0.29 to find the one where the problem got fixed, please leave a comment here. looking at the changelog reveals that there were some TCP related changes in the builds after 1.0.21. Problem solved.Īs for the source of the speed issue. Testing the transfer speed with this version showed a constant 11.3MB/s, the same as with the other FTP server. I've downloaded the most recent version (1.0.29 at the moment of writing) of Pure-FTPd, read through the various readme files in the source package and did a few compiles til I got it right. This proved that the FTP server was at fault and not the OS. I've installed another FTP server and the transfer rate was a constant 11.3MB/s during the entire transfer.

In the current Mac OS X version (10.6.4) and PureFTPd Manager version (1.8) the problem still exists. expecting a fix (either from Apple if the problem was in the OS or from PureFTPd Manager if the problem was in Pure-FTPd), but nothing happened.

I suspected that the problem is somehow related to the upgrade to Snow Leopard and not with the SSD or anything else. a few dozen KB/s (every few seconds the speed dropped by 100KB/s). 4MB/s and the speed decreased continuously during the transfer! The speed decrease rate was approx. The symptom was that on a 100Mbit LAN the transfer of a single file started at appox. 10MB/s that I had with Leopard and Pure-FTPd). In the coming weeks I noticed that FTP transfer speeds between another computer and my Mac got seriously reduced (compared to the approx. As usually, I've installed PureFTPd Manager which installed Pure-FTPd and I used the manager to configure the FTP server. After replacing the old HDD with the new SSD, I've installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6).
However the version bundled with the latest release of PureFTPd Manager (v1.8 of the manager contains v1.0.21 of the FTP server) has a very serious "bug" (or incompatibility with Snow Leopard) that reduces transfer speeds by at least 3! Installing the latest version of Pure-FTPd solved the problem for me.Ī few months back I bought a 256GB Kingston SSD for my "old" (2006 Dec) MacBook Pro which was still running Leopard (10.5).
There's a very popular management tool called PureFTPd Manager which makes installation and configuration of Pure-FTPd a snatch. Most advanced users quickly realize that they need a more sophisticated solution and the common answer to this problem is Pure-FTPd. The FTP server shipped with Mac OS X is quite limited.
