RedHat FTP server problems

[Vidiot <brown mrvideo vidiot com>]

Observations about the RH ftp server:

1) Slower than a snail.  Doing a simple cd takes a minute to perform:

	ncftp / > cd pub/redhat/linux/7.1

2) Getting a directory listing from a large directory always times out:

	ncftp ...en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS > dir perl*
	Data connection timed out.
	List failed.

At this point I might as well close the connection because:

	[next attempt hangs ncftp]

The server has been like this for quite a while now.
