cURL FTP to VMS MultiNet FTP server timeout

Happy Holidays!
 
We're using cURL to transfer files from a VMS Multinet FTP server.
 
We're running cURL commands from a Perl script on a Windows 2000 server.
When the script is executed manually, files are transfered reliably.
However, when the same command is executed from a scheduled job, the
file transfer will time out regularly. But with repeated retries, it
finally succeeds.
 
Since we use the same script to transfer file with different FTP servers
reliably, we believe the problem is with the VMS Multinet FTP server.
 
Has anyone seen a problem with cURL ftp and the Multinet's FTP server?
 
Or, does anyone have a suggestion on strategies for dealing with FTP
server timeout from the cURL client?
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff Smith
