Linux ftp question

[skeletal29]

Ok well i had a ftp,web,telnet sever running yesterday and it was running gr8.But the problem was that it had free space on a vfat partition but the probl was i needed to be able to change permission so i had tried to format and everything screwed up now i set up the server again and i am using a ext3 partitiio but the speed are slow as hell.....>Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

No clue. Ext3 should be much faster than vfat in Linux. You might want to try setting up the machine with XFS or ReiserFS, both of which are supposed to be even faster than ext2/3. I doubt that will fix it though. If your transfers are slow then the problem is likely in your network setup, as regardless of what FS you're using, a hard drive can run circles around even a 100Mbps net connection.
