opcode: Man, microsoft is so annoying... I use the Unix like telnet from cygwin, and well that works like it's supposed to! It seems the telnet client I suggested you enable is completely broken somehow. My guess is it's sending multi-char characters or something stupid like that because I get the same behavior you do which makes no sense at all... Perhaps you can try to find a free windows based telnet client (though you'll want to actually use it in raw mode as the FTP isn't a telnet server and thus won't respond correctly to custom telnet stuff).

BoNeZz: If you are comparing the crypto speeds of 5.8.5 vs 7.5.9 there are two huge differences. 5.8.5 up to 7.3.3 used the MS encryption library and were limited to 128bit algorithms. 7.4+ uses OpenSSL and has support for 256bit ciphers and a whole range of new algorithms. I don't think one is much faster than the other at AES128 but there is no guarantee you are trying to use that when comparing the speeds for both versions... What kind of machine are you using this on?

OpenSSL doesn't care about any installed certificates on the machine, just the files in the /system directory it creates so any old certs installed in the registry by the MS encryption stuff don't matter.

Thanks for the info about having to use RAW mode. Worked like a charm with PuTTY - i actually tried before but in Telnet mode instead of RAW. Anyway, if i send some bogus IDNT command, the popup of your script comes up.
So ioFTPD is indeed not receiving the IDNT properly. Which is weird, because it works well on glftpd.
Also fun fact, i only had BNC_HOST_1 = 127.0.0.1 in the config, but sent the IDNT from another box (not even on the same network) but still the args.exe window popped up. Shouldn't it ignore the IDNT alltogether? I guess its because it's added as a pre-script and ioFTPD doesn't evaluate the BNC_HOST rule before actually starting to process the command (when the script has already been triggered).

Edit: Maybe looking at the yatb source helps? It seems the idnt stuff is in controlthread.cc, you can find the source here: http://www.glhelp.org/forum/download...do=file&id=560

PRE events on FTP commands like LIST, RMD, etc are always executed first. This allows you to reject access to the command (which everyone has by default) via a script which is useful for things like RMD when you want to deny deleting dirs, etc. SITE PRE events are slightly different because they are only executed if the user has access to the command although it can still choose to reject access if it wants.

I took a quick look at the code, seems like it includes a fair amount of debugging information if you enable debug mode. That should shed some light on what's going on. It clearly logs what IDNT commands it is sending.

so the IDNT command being sent is
Quote:
IDNT *@ip.of.remote.user.trying.to.connect:ip.of.remote .user.trying.to.connect
which looks ok to me (ident is not working on the box i am trying from, so thats not an error).

What seems like it could be a source of the problem is this part

I'll see if I can take a deeper look this weekend. If the IDNT PRE event isn't firing then it's like the server never got the message. At the moment my best guess is that it looks like the BNC send the IDNT command before the server sent the hello message (which is technically wrong) but I can't see it making a difference since it would just get buffered until read, but perhaps it does...

I've got another idea! Are you using implicit SSL connections anywhere ('Explicit_Encryption' not set to True?) I.e. the connection immediately enables SSL before any data (even the hello message) is sent? That would account for what is going on since the SSL handshake would fail which is why you see the read failure for what looks like a broken connection and the IDNT PRE event never firing since it never got to process any commands...

Update: Hmm, I just looked at your posted config above and it looks fine, but still worth a double check that no strange characters hiding in there...

Update2: Since you were able to use RAW mode with PuTTY you aren't using implicit SSL at least on the ioFTPD side...

i even tried turning off ssl, e.g. not forcing ssl on the ioftpd side and the bnc and then trying to connect without ssl. the result was the same though.

OpenSSL doesn't care about any installed certificates on the machine, just the files in the /system directory it creates so any old certs installed in the registry by the MS encryption stuff don't matter.
AMD Athlon 64 processor 3500+( single core)

and in another machine like this:

AMD Sempron 2400+ (also single core)

i used windows xp 32bit. i try next week in first machine with win7 32bit, it's good?

or these cpu are too slow ?

After that part is done, dir list is behaving properly. But it looks really strange with a dirlisting command that just hangs in client without getting reply for several minutes.. first assumption then is for pasv port to be blocked or hdd problems..

Thinks sure have been quiet around these parts lately Hopefully that's a good thing!

I've been taking a bit of a break finishing up the changes to the next release since I really need to spend several straight days on it and haven't had the time and/or the inclination. I do keep adding things to the TODO list, so that's a good sign though! I've noticed a few odd things helping people setup their servers or answering questions and I just want to make it clear, if you see something that looks odd please report it here! I saw an account used to test the BNC have -168 logins. MINUS 168? That's gotta be a problem of some kind! So please let me know if you see crazy stuff like that since it's usually a trivial fix once I know about it...

I can say for sure that the next release will be a v7 point release with some new features and rewritten async event notifications. After that change there's a handful of simpler changes I can make in later releases to finally try and solve the lockup issue if that does do it. Luckily it isn't a big deal anymore since downtime is trivial now since it can detect it and suicide, but until it's really stable I'm going to keep on trying to fix it as a high priority item...

great news

anyway my speed problem in machines with monocore cpu isn't resolved

i tried some settings, but i don't understand why if i upload with an user i get 50% of total bandwith

if i try to upload with two user i get more than 50%, like 70 80 90%, not stable but more speed anyway

where\how can i set up on ioftpd more speed or bandwith used with an upload?

Global_Outbound_Bandwidth and client are disable, so no limit

maybe i set up threads? i don't know if is right and anyway i don't know how to set up threads to

BoNeZz: From the .ini file:
Code:
# Suggested value for I/O threads, is 2x number of logical cpus.
# Suggested value for worker threads on site that runs lots of scripts,
# is ~half of max users online.
# Suggested value for encryption threads, is number of logical cpus.
Starting with v7.4 and the change to OpenSSL there are no more encryption specific threads so that setting should be removed from the .ini file. Worker threads don't impact transfer speeds so that just leaves I/O threads. You could try using 3 instead of 2 (since you have a single core) I/O threads and see if that makes a difference which it may if you have multiple transfers, but I don't think should impact just a single transfer.

You could also try excluding the 256 bit ciphers which may take more CPU so you could have a more even comparison between v7.5 and the older MS 128 bit encryption in v7.3 and earlier. I think this .ini setting should work:

OpenSSL_Ciphers = DEFAULT:!:HIGH:!LOW:!EXPORT

There's a link to a webpage that describes how you can tweak this setting in the .ini file. You can probably force just one cipher to make it the same as whatever was being chosen by v7.3 if needed.

i tried with OpenSSL_Ciphers = DEFAULT:!:HIGH:!LOW:!EXPORT
but same speed

i tried also OpenSSL_Ciphers = NULL
but same speed

NULL? I think that means it would be plaintext without any encryption at all. I can't think of a good reason why that would slow things down! Can you see what cipher (if any) it thinks you are connecting to the server with?

Can you double check that no-SSL and SSL to the same site back to back result in a huge performance difference? Is that true of all sites? Perhaps it's the other side that is slow and not you...
