If you’re using gproftpd as the front-end to proftpd and you’re finding that your upload/download speeds are intolerably slow, you may have over-looked the fact that gproftpd defaults all transfer speed values to 40, aka 40 KB/s. This is very, very slow.
To resolve this open up the proftpd config file and change the TransferRate values accordingly:
TransferRate APPE,STOR 12000
TransferRate RETR 12000
I like 12000 because its very big, seems to max out my LAN transfer rate at about 616 KB/s which a considerable improvement, and ought to scale for when I get my all-optical network in place.
