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.
