That's *download* which is not the same as transferring data in
_both_ directions.  In FTP you only have small(!) handshake
packets going both ways, while the main stuff flows in one
direction only.

If this is not a sign for a duplex mismatch, what else is?

Honestly:  Check your network setup!  If autonegotiation takes
place, double check the results.  If autonegotiation won't work,
hardcode things.  But do it consistently and do it everywhere!

How about starting a log analyzer to see how traffic flows and
what the timing looks like?
