Loses connection regularly

I am new to using WinSCP, and I'm finding it very temperamental. I often have to attempt to log in to the server I'm using a couple of times before it actually connects. After that, I often lose connection sporadically. An example of a log file is below, where I attempted to refresh the current folder I was on to check I'm still connected.

I can provide more details if needed, but I'm not really sure where to start with diagnosing this problem. Thanks.
