WSAECONNRESET An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Explains the meaning of the "WSAECONNRESET An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." error and demonstrates a way to reproduce it by setting the "No Transfer Timeout" setting on a FileZilla FTP server to a very small value.

'  In this example, we've set the FileZilla FTP Server's
'  "No Transfer Timeout" to 5 seconds.  This is a setting
'  on the FTP server (not in the Chilkat FTP component).
'  It causes the server to disconnect from the client after
'  5 seconds of no upload or download activity.  As you'll see,
'  sending commands over the control channel, such as
'  NOOP (no-operation) commands will have no effect.
'  It is an upload, download, or directory listing that is required.

'  This code will wait 10 seconds before proceeding with
'  the PutFile.  This should be enough time for the FileZilla
'  server to disconnect.
