Actually, I think that I've found the problem. There appears to be a
firewall between the mainframe and the Windows box. The ftp which is
failing is large (small ftps succeed!) and my estimate is that it is
taking just a bit over 2 minutes to complete the data transfer. I think
the firewall is timing out the ftp control connection due to
"inactivity". I have so informed management. Maybe somebody there can
light a fire under the firewall people to get off their fundament and
actually look at it.

In my experience, you're going to need a oxy-acetylene "Rosebud" to
generate enough heat! :-)
