10053 means the connection was aborted on the local host, but it could 
be for a number of reasons.

It could be a firewall thing (stab in the dark). Does WebMerge give the 
option to switch to Active mode (libUrlSetFtpMode "active")?  libUrl 
uses Passive mode by default. That might explain why the command line 
works from the same machine.
