Sure it is, if the errors occured during the ftp process.
I suspect that Jeme has a switch that does auto and he has no way
to reset it. The auto-negotiation between the switch and robot
isn't working reliably and only is a problem under heavy net load,
hence he can work fine over the Internet because the comparatively
slow Internet connection doesn't allow data transfer speeds to
trigger the problem.
Thus he needs to follow Wil's suggestion to use mii-tool and
force the client to auto, then 100/full, then 100/half and test
the throughput under each scenario.
