Answer : Netout Connection Rest by Peer

Things to look at:
1. Check to make sure NIC card drivers are correct and card is functioning properly.
2. If using IE as FTP client, go into tools/internet options/advanced/and UNCHECK "Enable folder view for FTP sites".This will then work (sets the FTP to Passive Mode)
3. Perhaps the MSFTP client is simply incompatible with DTS - you could try WS_FTP:

ALSO useful - MSFTP commands/switches: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/MSFTP.htm
4. What SQL Server are you running? The SQL DTS FTP can have strange problems if certain conditions exist or not met. Also, make sure you are up to date on patches and service packs.

For Example: Cumulative update package 3 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2

5. What IIS are you running?
# Internet Information Server 4.0
# Internet Information Services 5.0
# Internet Information Services 5.1
# Internet Information Services 6.0
# Internet Information Services
# Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000
# Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004

6. Bypassing the server's firewall sometimes will work. Some kind of bug with IIS 6 and the latest ISA.
7. Increase your buffer size. Netout : connection reset by peer can occur when Windows buffer is full. his happens when you have either a slow network connection or your server is retrieving the
packets at a slower speed than the Window FTP. Increase the window/buffer size using the
command -w:windowsize. You can type in ftp -help in your window command , it will show you with a more detailed description. Double or Triple the default size.

Well, that's a bunch of stuff for you to look at.  Try #7 first.  Let me know if any of this helps.
