vsftpd

[BuraphaLinux S. <bur...@gm...>]

Hello, I attached my conf file.  I want to do ftp load testing, and
all clients share one IP.
I am able to ftp and get files normally with an ftp client, curl,
wget, etc.  However, when
I try to use curl-loader-0.32 I get errors.  The log file says this:

0 2 (192.168.0.2) :<= WARNING: parsing error: wrong response code (FTP?) 0 .

for every connection.  The files I want to fetch are large, and the
ftp server is vsftpd and
it has a 512k/sec rate limit set.   It looks like curl-loader gets
confused and doesn't ever send
the commands to the server to start the download.  So I think either
the transfer does not start
or it takes so long curl-loader gives up.  I tried to read everything
but I probably missed
something obvious.  The server does fork enough daemons so they all do
get connected,
but beyond that nothing seems to happen.  The ftp server does send a
banner file - do I
have to turn that off?

How can I get this working?
