Dear Ashok, Devdas Thanks , for help. After editing resolv.conf file solved my problem. Infact this file has wrong entry of IP address. Also if you are keeping this file empty, i got ftp login prompt immediately.
regards unmesh

I am using RH 7.1 with wu-ftp server. My ftp
server is taking too
much time for logging. For this problem I got
solution from web for
b it loggin in ...or loggin......get the wu-ftpd service off the machine....
Check your resolv.conf file for the nameserver entry. If the name server is not reachable then wu-ftpd mysteriously takes time for logging IN.
This is not mysterious. The ftp daemon is trying to resolve the ip address
of
the connecting ip to a name, and timing out since there is no record for
that
in the DNS. Setting up proper reverse DNS will solve that problem. You will see this problem with any service that insists on reverse DNS
being
setup, like a pop/imap daemon, ftpd, etc.
As for a good ftp daemon, why not just use scp if possible? Or at least sftp. Proftpd is good, and easy to configure. Pureftpd is also supposed to
be
good.
