SFTP is too slow to respond.

This is a common error while taking backups or upgrading the server, irrespective of CM version.
This is an SFTP error, most common in windows SFTP platforms.

In order to resolve such issue-
1. Restart SFTP service.
2.  Reboot SFTP server.
3. Download another SFTP server, preferably cygwin for linux based server, coreftp/freeftpd for windows.

In order to install cygwin server, follow the below steps.
  1. Choose a plain windows server to install cygwin setup  
  2. Once it is downloaded, run the set up and choose the below options.
    Install the source from internet. 
  3. Create a local package directory in root directory.
  4. Choose cygwin.mirrors.pair.com, as download site for LPD.
    Choose the below packages- zlib, tcp wrappers, diffutils, openssh.
    Downloading the packages would take around 30minutes.
  5. In the meantime, make the changes in system variables.
    Once it is install, run the below commands-  
ssh-host-config    (manuall answer Yes to questions except)
If the script says "This script plans to use cyg_server, Do you want to use a different name?  Answer Yes, and type sshd as the user name.
While you are still in the (black) cygwin screen, start the sshd service, type
net start sshd  
Now, the SFTP service is running on cygwin. Feel free to use it.
