Thank you very much. I had turned firewall OFF and it is working.

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

This sounds to me like a proxy/firewall problem, not an FTP configuration problem. My money says that the pure-ftpd box is behind a proxy/firewall that is checking to make sure that your ftp session is alive and at some point it says "no, I don't think it is" and it starts dropping packets. I only say that because I've seen the same problem and it turned out to be firewall config.

Maybe you could create an ssh tunnel for your ftp send send it over that and see if you get any difference.
