python 3.x - Pysftp connection getting timeout while downloading file

Question

pysftp connection is getting idle, and server connection getting dropped, while trying to download a relatively large file ~40MB, connection getting time out every 3min. I want to keep the connection alive while using the get() method. Any leads, much appreciated.

Code snippet:

`sftp_conn = pysftp.Connection(host=host, username=username, password=password, private_key=private_key, cnopts=sftp_option)

sftp_conn.get(file, target_file_path, preserve_mtime=True)`

Please be informed, server side is refusing to increase the idletimeout setting.
