What can I do to solve the problem?
Cause
The problem is caused by long time of uploading files via FTP. Publishing is stopped due to timeout.Resolution
To resolve the problem it is recommended that you 1) increase maximum time of script execution, parameter max_execution_time in Sitebuilder PHP configuration and 2) Timeout value in Apache configuration.1) Login to Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder server as root and find location of CGI PHP configuration file in Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder:
~# sb_config --help | grep phpcgi_path
--phpcgi_path PHP CGI executable [/opt/php52/cgi-bin/php5]
~# find /opt/php52 -name php.ini
/opt/php52/etc/php.ini
~#
Open file /opt/php52/etc/php.ini and find max_execution_time. Increase the value, it is 30 seconds by default and save the file.

max_execution_time = 240 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

2) On Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder server open main configuration file of Apache service (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf).Find option Timeout and increase the value. For example:

# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
Timeout 240
