Why does the FTP connection terminate?

These terminating FTP connections are due of a faulty KeepAlive option of the FTP client.

So the ControlConnection terminates on larger transfers and another transfer is not possible without re-establish the connection.

Under Linux only 2 clients support the KeepAlive mode:

lftp: (option: ftp:nop-interval)
ncftp: (option: control-timeout)

If your plan supports Webdav, it is an alternative to mount local the Webdav access and copy the data directly.
