my problem was very similar but it was about configuring SFTP. Inspired by the solutions above, I solved it as follows:

On MAC:

  1. Go to Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Deployment
  2. Check "Use Rsync for download, upload, sync"

If the problem still remain,

  1. in the same window above, select temporarily "FTP" in "type" selector
  2. Now, in the "Advanced" section, the field "Send keep alive message each" is active
  3. Type "300"
  4. Select again "SFTP". The field "Send keep alive message each" return unactive
  5. Done

I faced the same error even after setting "Passive mode" in "Advanced options" for FTP connection.

Main Menu: Tools -> Deployment -> Configuration

"Advanced options" button

Check checkbox "Instead of MLSD".

(I was also facing issue of uploading only new files which were not existing on server before. this option will fix the issue. ) Have a safe phpstorming ahead.

I guess it was all my fault.

After setting "Passive mode" in "Advanced options" for FTP connection all works fine.

Main Menu: Tools -> Deployment -> Configuration

"Advanced options" button

Check first checkbox "Passive mode"
