I'm trying to upload couple of .zip files with size ranging between 20 to 30 MBs using python's sftp module 'Paramiko'. I'm able to successfully connect to the sftp server, and also able to list the contents in the destination directory. But while attempting to upload files from my ec2 linux machine, the request is taking too much time and then terminating with EOFError(). Below is the code,
>>> import paramiko
>>> import os
>>> ftp_host='*****'
>>> ftp_username='***'
>>> ftp_password='**'
>>> ssh_client=paramiko.SSHClient()
>>> ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
>>> ssh_client.connect(hostname=ftp_host,username=ftp_username,password=ftp_password, timeout=500)
>>> ftp_client=ssh_client.open_sftp()
>>> ftp_client.chdir('/inbound/')
>>> ftp_client.listdir()
[u't5-file-1.zip', u'edp_r.zip', u'T5_Transaction_Sample.gz']
>>> ftp_client.put("/path-to-zip-files-on-local/edp_revenue.zip","/inbound/edp_revenue.zip")

When I'm trying the same thing using curl command I'm easily able to do and just in 20 seconds. What am I missing here? Is it the size which is making the request to timed out or anything else.
