Timeout problem proftp/ssh/mysql

Paules

New Pleskian
Hi

I got some timeout problems with my server.

proftp timesout after 300s
mysql timesout after few mins

proftp:
When i want to connect to my server sftp or ftp is everything. (i use filezilla)
When i edit a file directly from filezilla and save it after one 10/20/50/min or 1/2/3/hours no problems. Only when i want to browse the folder send command [CDUP] or [CWD folder] he will hang and get the following error after 30sec.
Error: Disconnected from server: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

Only in the 300s it will work without problems

No server logs found on the server. only find logs about my files i downloaded.

When i go to my proftpd.conf i changed the timeouts to 3600 but that has no effect.
My proftpd.conf
Code:

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to 
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server

(proftpd.include) is a empty file generated by plesk.

I find that the server is started inside initd. so i checked those files if i find any config file thats has some timeout options. no results.
The only thing i can find is when i go to my ssh(putty) and i enter the command proftpd - V
i get those results:

There is see PR_TUNABLE_TIMEOUTNOXFER = 300. I think that this is my problem but i can't find any hay how to change that. i search almost all the config files i can find on my server and google but with no result. Can someone help me with this?

With mysql i got the same problem with remote connection (i use navicat). Only i can't find any config about here.

ssh has also the same timeout issue but i fixed that by keep connection alive in putty.

My firewall config is the default that's installed with plesk install. Ony added port 2525 for smtp and made mysql allow for outside connections.

Thanks.
