Problem:
I am getting an error "Timeout Detected" while trying to access FTP with WinSCP to my Windows VPS.
Resolution:
If the FTP service was working fine with other FTP client application, the issue may be related to the WinSCP configuration. Please increase the Timeout limit in WinSCP as follows:
- Open WinSCP.
- Click on Edit for your saved FTP account.
- Click on Advance settings.
- From new popup, click on Connection.
- Increase Timeout limit to 30 seconds.
