The "java.net.SocketException: Connection reset" means that it's a networking issue from your development machine to the cRIO.

Have you tried "ping" and "ftp" commands from the development machine to the cRIO?

If those work, you can check the windows firewall settings. If the firewall is on, it will often all ping and ftp from the command line, but not allow ftp from Java.

If neither of these work, please post a complete transcript.

[more advanced -
- Use ftp from the command line to copy the "image.suite" file manually to the cRIO, but rename it "robot.suite" on the crio.
- From a command line in your robot project's directory,
- type "ant echo"
- reboot the cRIO.
