Client closed the connection error message

Good afternoon,

I hope someone here can answer a question for me that quite frankly has me stumped. I keep getting this error message whilst trying to ftp files to my server

"An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine"


Has anyone seen this error message before and more importantly how do I rectify this problem as it´s driving me to distraction!

Regards,

calagran

Post the complete log with the error message.

Thank you for getting back to me. This is the latest log with the offending message at the bottom

Regards

[20:58:03] Server closed connection

It is all good. The server closes the connection after a while. This is normal and the expected behavior.

I appreciate that but, should it remain closed all day ? =O)
