Linux – How to Change FTP time out with SSH

There should not be a reason why a browser download works file a FTP client download does not work unless there is something wrong. A couple of things to check.

1. Whether your FTP client is configured to use PASSIVE ftp mode or not. Try changing it to see if it works. This might be a problem since the two modes use different ftp ports, which may be subject to different firewall rules.
2. Whether your browser is quietly resuming any broken downloads in the background.

Firstly you may want to test not using passive mode, just in case your whole setup works with it.

Secondly, have a look at this line:

Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (88,150,168,207,155,25).

That's the IP address of the VPS plus two more numbers, let's call them p1 and p2. These numbers are telling you the port where you should be connecting to, by following the formula "port=(p1*256)+p2". Based on that I'd recommend you to get simultaneous network captures on your computer and the VPS to see where the issue is. If you see the connection on the passive port initiated from your computer but not reaching the VPS, then the problem may be on your local network (as you said there's no firewall in front of your VPS). If the packets get to the server but it doesn't reply, the problem may be on your FTP setup on the server.

Please mind that answering this kind of questions is difficult without all the information, but I hope this gives you some guidance.
