timeout

I have a problem in my server, when I try to connect via FTP to a domain, the connexion is VERY slow, and I get timeouts just listing files in a directory.

When I try to connect to the domain folder using the root user account via SSH, it works fine, and I can download the files without problem.

What can be wrong? I tried to reboot the server, also the office router, and nothing...

It is a fedora core 7 server with proftpd. Can it be a filesystem problem? Thanks.
