I didn't reproduce the issue. I tested ftp client as well as lftp. Both clients was served by vsftpd as intended. The client #2 is waiting till end of the upload of the client #1 then continues the upload of the client #2. It's nice to see using lftp. The client #1 displays increasing percentage of data transfer. The client #2 displays 0% during the upload of the client #1. This percentage starts increasing when the upload of the client #1 is finished. I tested it with 0.8 GB file. Resolution -> closing 'notabug'. Jiri
