I use the FTP-client FileZilla to transfer my files via FTP. However, recently I noticed many problems with FTP-activities such as listing some directories.
My server is behind VPN, so I doubted the VPN connection at the time of connection issues. However, underneath ping results are during problems with the FTP-client as described above:

64 bytes from 10.8.0.1: icmp_seq=12 ttl=64 time=20.283 ms
Though, FileZilla can't open the directory (with only 2 files in the directory). FileZilla keeps stuck for like 2 minutes on: Listing directory <DIRECTORY>
Then, sometimes the connection times out (while the ping continues)... And some other times, the directory listing succeeds and I can continue with using Filezilla without problems for a few minutes until the same problem arises.
Error: Connection expired after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Receiving directory listing failed
During the problem I can't upload files neither (they stay in the queue?)
(I use OpenVPN with the Tunnelblick software on my Mac)
