How to fix corrupt packet error for with rsync for (relatively) large files

Hi, I am trying to fix corrupt packet error while using rsync for (relatively) large files and facing the following error during the process

rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (11337 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at /home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsync-3.0.9/io.c(605) [sender=3.0.9]

This is probably related to a ssh timeout, as it seems to happen with large(r) files. Also, I keep getting timeouts using WinSCP. This is happening only to me; several of the people I work with that use this server do not have the same problem.
how to solve this ?

TO solve this issue run the following command

rsync -ravq -e "ssh -o ConnectTimeout=2 -o ServerAliveInterval=2 -ServerAliveCountMax=2" --delete ./local_dir user@$SERVER:/dest_dir

This will make effort in Timeout, alive count and prevents the issue from happening during large File transfer
