Since a bit more than a month ago…
- When I transfer a file using FileZilla, it times out after a certain number of bytes. The precise number depends on the remote server. I use two servers: one times out after 180,224 bytes, and the other after 262,144 bytes.
- The time before timeout depends on Settings > Connection > Timout. If I set this to (say) 5 seconds, the file stops after 180,224 bytes and waits approximately 5 seconds before it times out and FileZilla restarts. If I set this to 60 seconds, again the file stops after 180,224 bytes and waits approximately 60 seconds before trying again. (In the attached logs, the setting was 5 seconds.)
- Usually, FileZilla restarts the file without a problem, but it means that a large file takes hours instead of minutes to transfer. Sometimes, FileZilla eventually fails and I have to restart (this happened after just two timeouts in the attached logs).
This means that FileZilla has the problem. I have tried resetting FileZilla's settings to default, but still I have the problem. I also tried turning off the firewall, but that made no difference.
What ideas do you have to fix this, please? I love FileZilla and would prefer to continue using it, but I cannot while it has this problem.
Notes:
- Using Linux Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit fully updated.
- Using FileZilla version 3.5.3
- FileZilla.log.zip attached (domain name changed to "example.com" to protect the owner's privacy)
