If it is FTP then it is a known (and unfixed) problem with IIS 5 FTPSVC - occurs pretty frequently, in my experience, when you upload a huge number of files. File size is unimportant, file quantity is. I can't tell you just how many is the threshold to the server's "sleepiness", but < 100 per block seems to get through almost every time.
It's also a 50% probability whether the connection will "wake up" and resume transfer. The interesting fact is if your FTP client supports multi-threaded transfers - different ephemeral ports on your end - you can invoke a new transfer of files that carries on fine while the original session is still "sleeping". Of course your new connection is just as susceptible. Perhaps you'll be glad to know that my testing with IIS 6's FTPSVC so far doesn't exhibit this problem, unlike my previous win2000 Server/IIS 5.

Does Frontpage use FTP to upload? I have unexplained sever timeouts from within Dreamweaver (uploading files via FTP) and standard client/server WS_FTP Pro uploads. Nothing in the event logs and Microsoft's support page indicates that the problem was resolved with... Service Pack 2 (??). I'm at SP 3 so that appears not to be entirely accurate. I've had the problem for several months now (test machine) but haven't had the incentive (read "time") to further research. Only difference is that I see the problem with small files as well as big. Good Luck!
