An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. Software caused connection abort
This error can occur when the local network system aborts a connection, such as when WinSock closes an established connection after data retransmission fails (receiver never acknowledges data sent on a data stream socket). Possibly due to a data transmission timeout or protocol error.
You may try to set the Connection Timeout higher (Default: 60s). If the problem persists change the Data Connection Mode in the Settings->Connection dialog from "Port Mode (PORT)" to "Passive Mode (PASV)" or vice versa.
