Create subfolders for the files and then transfer them. If you are transferring a lot of files (for example, more than 2,000), you may get the 226 error. This is one work-around.
Utilize STFP, instead of FTP, to transfer your files. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) does not truncate your number of files per folder, as is the case with FTP.
Post your situation to an online forum. There is a virtually unlimited amount of help out there in the form of fellow computer users who may know how to deal more directly with your specific issue. See an example of one online forum in Resources.

How to Transfer Files from one Linux Server to AnotherIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
Type the command:
ftp servername
File transfer protocol (ftp) is the standard cross-platform interactive tool for file transfers. Provide your username and password when prompted. The ftp session will begin.
Enter the command:
sftp servername
Secure ftp (sftp) uses an encrypted session, making it a better choice for unsecured networks.
Use the remote command copy (rcp) of BSD on trusted, secured networks only. The basic syntax is:
rcp
.
rcp file1 linuxhost2:/temp
Secure copy (scp) is an encrypted version of rcp. The transfer is sent over an encrypted Secure Shell (ssh) session. The syntax is essentially the same:
scp linuxhost2:/temp/file2 /var/tmp
Copy or synchronize entire directories, using the rsync command:
rsync -oupgrle ssh /local/directory host2:/remote/directory
Check the manual page for rsync to describe the options listed.

How to Login to an FTP ServerIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Launch the web browser application.
Type the FTP server address into the URL location box, starting with the ftp:// prefix.
Enter a username and password if the FTP site is secure; a login box appears.
Click the 'Page' button if you're using Internet Explorer to access the FTP site and choose 'Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer' if you wish to work with the files on the FTP site in the Windows Explorer interface.
Stand-alone FTP Client
Install an FTP client application on your computer. Many are available for download, and they operate in the same way. The example shown here is the FTP client Fetch that has been available for the Macintosh since 1989. A client for Windows that has been around since the mid-90s is WS-FTP from Ipswitch, Inc.
Double-click the FTP client application to open it.
Type the domain address of the FTP server in the server or location box of the FTP client. If the server is secure, also enter a username and password to gain access to the server.
Click 'Connect.' You will be logged in to the FTP server, and can now upload and download files if the server administrator has set permissions for those actions.
