We have a G4 running OS X Server, Its used mainly as a file server, serving about 3-5 clients, Im also running the built-in FTP software for light FTP use.

One thing I noticed was that it is very slow to establish a connection, although once its connected transfers are full speed. I tried rumpus FTP server and connections as well as downloads are fast....

Is there anything I can do to speed up the built in Server as I would rather not run additional software.

Thanks for any help

through trial and error ive found out that if you give the server just a static IP and a subnet mask (no router or subdomain entries) it seems to connect alot quicker - 2 or 3 seconds as opposed to 30+

dosnt ask me why i works, im still looking for that answer myself
