I am facing issue with SFTP service configured on Ubuntu 12 server. I am able to connect to sftp service and pwd command gives an immediate response while ls command takes 5 to 10 minutes to return the output. This is giving me connectivity issues when i try to connect SFTP service using FileZilla Client.Please find the Server Config below.
sftp -vvv output:
debug3: SSH_FXP_REALPATH . -> /test
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /test
sftp> ls
debug3: Sending SSH2_FXP_READDIR I:32537
so ls command stucks at this point for atleast 5 to 10 minutes and then displays output. Once output is displayed then it is faster navigating through directories.
I also verified putting some files onto SFTP and it is faster. It gives very slow response only for ls command and get commands but for uploading a doc using put command or pwd it is faster.

Not sure on Ubuntu 12...
Turnkey Linux appliances (i.e. the forums you are posting on here) come with SFTP already preconfigured and also it is based on Debian stable (not Ubuntu) so I'm not sure whether you'll get much comment here.
The only thing that I can think of is have a quick read of this blog post from a few years ago.
