Connection timed out
Error:File transfer failed after transferring 'x' bytes in 'y' seconds
There could multiple reasons for this error popping up.
1. There could be a firewall problem. Your firewall may be blocking the transfer. So I personally tried shutting the firewall for 30 sec to see whether the transfer happens, but nothing changed. If this doesn't work proceed to the 2nd solution.
2. By default filezilla is defined to close the transfer of files when the file transfer takes more than a fixed amount of time say 20 sec.
By disabling the timeout I was able to fix the problem.
To disable the timeout select the Edit>Settings>Connections> Change Timeout to 0, you can possibly fix the error.
Took me hours to fix this error, hope it helps :)
