Have to make Filezilla send keep-alive command

So basically, since not too long ago my FTP has been having issues. I can connect fine and everything is as it should be, but after a couple minutes of inactivity I can't retrieve directory listing anymore. I can still transfer files, which makes it re-authenticate after a few seconds and then transfer normally but it doesn't do this for directory listing.

The way I've temporarily fixed it is by making Filezilla send keep-alive commands to keep the session active. This makes it all work as it used to without any issues, but apparently this shouldn't be necessary.

I have not changed any settings related to FTP on the server-side, all I've done in the past few months is update DirectAdmin when necessary.

Is there an easy way to fix this?
