This process of FTPing to 450+ users takes place at 3:00 am. The max
file size to any on user is 20 MB and number of files is <= 7.
I have noticed from the logs that the -5 occurs on the same user
every morning and continues for several more users. Then things seem
to correct themselves and normal FTP continues.
When I do a command line FTP to the failed user it works. And then
the next morning the -5 will occur on a user further into the
process.
This morning I had no -5 RCs. I assume it is because I did a command
line FTP to all of the users whose return code was -5 the previous
day.
I will continue to delay each FTP by 3 seconds until the next time I
get a -5. Then I will raise the delay to maybe 10 seconds and see
what happens.
Thanks everyone for your responses.
