Well, many possible reasons. network stability and IIS FTP services handling
the connections, etc.
Sometimes the 426 error just came out no where, I've been working with IIS
FTP long time :)
yet - sometimes it just gone wild. To fix this, I change to a much more
decent ftp client, which will auto reconnect, resume all uploads, then i 2nd
set of backup uploads as well :)
