THE problem with no soluce?

[Julien VALIENTE]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your help, i wait for someone like you for 2 months...

My conputer doesn't support ftp. I disabled this feature for security
reasons. But I transfert files using scp (cp using ssh tunneling). I can,
with scp, transfert very larges files without problems in both ways. I
suppose that if my network card has some problems i shouldn't be able to do
that, even if i don't use ftp. Is it true?

An other remarque: i tried to modify my /etc/samba/smb.conf using a debug
value of 40 (enormous, i know). The transfert take a long time (and e very
big log file) but no errors appends. So, i suppose that my problem is that
samba send pakets to the client to see if it's alive (i read it in the
NetBios' RFC), but when samba receive the response the time appear to be too
long and he force the connection to close...

I'm afraid that i'll have to get the source files for samba and desactivate
manually this feature...

Any other idea?

Regards,

Julien Valiente
