There are a couple of "normal" causes for slow logins: reverse DNS 
resolution, and IDENTD lookups.  These can be disabled by using the 
following in your proftpd.conf:

  UseReverseDNS off
  IdentLookups off

However, these are not the problem you're encountering (I just wanted to 
point them out).

Given that you are using the `ls' client command (which translates into 
either the LIST or NLST FTP commands, and sometimes even MLSD), it sounds 
like you have a problem with FTP data transfers.  This howto covers the 
configuration changes you may need, along with a link to a good 
explanation of the issue:

Hope this helps,
TJ
