One of the servers is vsftpd & the other is pure-ftpd if i logged to server running vsftpd and tried to download any file, i can do that without problems regardless the size of the file. But if i logged to the server running pure-ftpd & tried to upload the same file, i get the time out message "Note here: The timeout always happens after the file completely uploaded, the ftp client hangs then gives the timeout message "
Also, If i logged to the server running pure-ftpd, i can use ftp command to download any file from vsftpd server but i can't upload the same file back to the server if this file size is big
Do you think that i should edit the configuration file for pure-ftd or vsftpd? If yes, Which parameter i should change
Thank you for your concern.

'man ftpd' at a shell prompt should point you to the ftpd configuration file where that timeout can be reset. Might be 'wsftpd' or some other name, try 'apropos ftp' at a shell prompt to get a list of available man entries on ftp/ftpd/etc. YMMV, HTH, & all that :-).
I am not familiar with the vaguaries of vsftpd or pure-ftpd, however the man pages on those services *should* have the info you need. If you are getting the time-out from the vsftpd server (upload or download), that is the one you need to tinker with.
