I have some problems with Vstpd, and I don't know whether they are related or not.
One problem is that FireFTP can't get past the directory listing phase - it just stucks there forever, no error messages. Filezilla works, however it too sometimes gets stuck. In particular there are some files that just won't upload -- they too are stuck forever, sometimes a few bytes go through; here, too, no error messages server-side, and just a timeout client-side. Other clients seem totally unaffected (in particular Cyberduck on windows and Transmit on mac always worked flawlessly).
With FileZilla, the file I am attempting to upload will be created on the server with zero byte size, but nothing will be uploaded. If the file was already there, it will be emptied. I can also upload other files to the same directory, so it is not a permissions issue.
Is there any problem with my configuration? Am I using an outdated version? (It's Ubuntu 10.04). Here is vsftpd.conf. Using a self-signed cert.
Maybe this is a Linux problem??? Using Ubuntu 12.04 as client OS.
