IO Timeout Error in file less than 3 MB

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the fast reply.

We'll the file size is just 1.5MB. The same thing works on a different product with the same 
network speed and the network processor. (IXP420) is the processor being used. In that case, the file size being synced is 4MB. With the 4MB file i never got this error.

One more point which i would forgot to mention in my previous mail was, this error is also not consisten. It has been occuring
3 of 5 times..and i feel that is really to be bothered about.

Could you please tell me which way this problem can be avoided. ?

Thanks and Regards,
