If the delay is more like 60 seconds, then it is probably trying to do the reverse DNS lookup for your other machine, and timing out. One way of speeding that up is placing the IP machine-name association in the Netinfo equivalent of the /etc/hosts, or getting an access to a (fast) DNS server.Originally posted by Thies
It takes about 45 seconds to login on my G4 (OS X 10.0.3) via ftp from another workstation.
Once logged in, everything is fine.
Is ftp login always that slow at OS X?
Is there a way to speed it up?
