Why would the OS be resetting the connection if the initial connection goes out, and the problem is intermittent?

Re: WinSCP ignoring timeout value and dropping connection after 4 seconds

It's not a timeout what you are experiencing. The connection is being dropped by your local OS or network stack.

WinSCP ignoring timeout value and dropping connection after 4 seconds

Getting strange error where the connection will intermittently fail with the following error message. I have added the -timeout=60 switch to prolong the connection timeout from the server and it still seems to disconnect after about 4 seconds. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Current connections command is
open sftp://username@server/directory -timeout=60 -hostkey="hostkey"
