[NOT i-MSCP RELATED] ProFTPd 1.3.5 with TLS enable = Slow directory display

Hi,

Just a quick notice about ProFTPd and TLS enabled.

If your version of it is "1.3.5", you probably have a know bug with "mod_tls" which seems to force the server to redo the certificate exchange with the client.
In short, all folder changes take in general 5 to 10 seconds.

Actually, Debian 8.1 is impacted as well as the latest Ubuntu stable version which didn't mention the fix in the changelog of the package.

Official fix has been applied in version 1.3.5a (and the actual testing version 1.3.6rc1).

The best way to fix this should be to recompile the whole ProFTPd application, or if you want to keep the version provided by your package manager, disable the TLS if this is too annoying for you.

The file involve in the fix of that bug (ProFTPd Github)

Yep, I was thinking to doing it, but not enough time (and I've my temporary fix xD)

Thanks to open it

(Just seen you open it on 14 June well, at least, we spread the word )

I saw this possible solution @Nuxwin and this doesn't change anything (at least for me, maybe the parameter was wrong on my side too).

I'll give a new try with the original .SO file.

Tested, changed nothing (BTW, TLSRenegotiate has "none" by default when not used)
I did a screen record, for those who want to see the side effect of this bug and have some minutes to loose

Could be nice indeed

At least, when one of the FTP is having issue, we can switch to another FTP server which should works
