Thanks Paul,

On the client side I am running a $500 professional grade router and I assume 
that the server ISP is also running something upmarket in their data center.

On this topic the client-server arrangement straddles the Atlantic ocean, so 
who knows how many routers and switches it jumps across.  That said the 
failure pattern is consistent:  first file always transfers cleanly, then 
second transfer fails after a while.  Could it be some configured 
disk/account quote, dropping transfers above a certain size on the (Unix) 
server?
