I have noticed from the logs that the -5 occurs on the same user every morning and continues for several more users. Then things seem to correct themselves and normal FTP continues. When I do a command line FTP to the failed user it works. And then the next morning the -5 will occur on a user further into the process. This morning I had no -5 RCs. I assume it is because I did a command line FTP to all of the users whose return code was -5 the previous day. I will continue to delay each FTP by 3 seconds until the next time I get a -5. Then I will raise the delay to maybe 10 seconds and see what happens.
