FileZilla FTP Connection timeout issue

Issue Description

Using FileZilla gives FTP Connection timeout issue every after 20 seconds.

Resolution:

Please note that FileZilla has a default timeout setup which is only 20 seconds.

This time frame works mostly for the small files. If you have bigger files size like .png or .mpeg or .svg files etc such file transfer needs more time to transfer the file.

I had a file with a size of over 20k bytes as shown below,

To fix such issues, you simply need to increase the timeout by following the below steps,

  • On Windows, click Edit >> Settings

  • Under [Connection], update timeout in seconds to the max as per your requirements (default is 20 seconds).

  • Click [OK] to save your changes and connect again.
