Could you try using nautilus to ssh between the netbook and desktop? Do so, open up the nautilus file browser and press ctrl+L. In the address bar that pops up type ssh://servername. Now try to drag and drop files like youwould locally. If you see the same problem, it's an issue with ssh, if you don't see the same issue, it's a problem with FileZilla.
I have always found Nautilus (or GVFS) to be dog slow, regardless of internet speed.

I use Filezilla a lot to transfer data between a desktop and a netbook, via a wireless router. Sometimes these files are big (> 300 MB).

With small files there are no problems regardless of which direction the transfer goes, or whether I am "pushing" or "pulling". With large files, however, the transfer often stalls and the connection times out if I am "pushing" the data from the desktop to the netbook. The same file "pulled" from the netbook end always transfers trouble-free.

Filezilla isn't exactly the best of software but I can't think of any good alternative GUI based apps. I would use SCP or rsync. rsync might not be a good solution for the netbook.

E.g.

scp -P 22 ~/dir/files/* user@remote:/dir/wherever
