For developing in PHP I use the PHPStorm IDE which has an embedded FTP client. Whenever I upload a file to the FTP Server, I get 2-5 second delays, which causes the file upload to take ~10-15 seconds. It has to be related to SSL, either the netotiation or the verification of the server certificate by the FTP client. Whenever I switch to FTP, the upload is lightning fast. I should also add that when I connect with a different client (FileZilla) uploading and downloading works perfectly fine. I have ruled out the UseIPv6 and IdentLookups options, turning them off has no effect. I connect in PASSIVE mode so that's not causing any problems either.
I'm out of ideas and could really use some help! Thanks.
The FTP server is proftpd 1.3.4a on a Debian Wheezy machine.
