Title: As/400 FTP Login ..Slow..

Have a look at how the DNS is set up. If there is a DNS lookup that is not being satisfied it may take a while for the secondary DNS server to kick in.

 

Also, the AS/400 FTP server does a reverse name lookup using your AS/400 local IP address. If you have a DNS server defined on the  AS/400 and the IP address of the AS/400 is not known to the DNS, it can take time for this to time out. In this case add a host table entry (CFGTCP, option 10) for your local AS/400 and specify that *LOCAL is searched first.

I was wondering, if there was a way to speed up the time it takes to get the Username prompt, when someone ftp's into our as/400.  It takes about 50 seconds before the user can enter their name...
