ProFTPD and FrontPage

I used to have hosting on an HP/UX box and never had any trouble publishing with FrontPage using FTP (not FP extensions, just FTP).

However, since I have moved to Linux on a dedicated box (actually two dedicated boxes) I have intermittent trouble publishing from FrontPage using ProFTPD on the server. The process will eventually just stall. However, manually using ncFTP or even Microsoft's FTP (ugh) or any of several GUI FTPs work fine. So FTP is up and working, but FrontPage just stalls with it.

Any idea about how to troubleshoot this. And yes, I know, quit using FrontPage :-) But let's pretend I have some users that want to use it!

Thanks!

P.S. More info....
If I tell FP not to compare the source/destination webs that seems to work better although major changes will sometimes still hang. It almost seems like transferring a lot of data throught the FTP server is causing something to hang.
