Error - existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Hi. I am using a console .NET application which uses the SQL BCP queryout method to retrieve data from table and store in a delimited file. If the select query is taing a longer time, then i have observed this timeout. Are there any parameters which need to be added in BCP syntax to avoid this issue ?

Some times I am getting the below error : SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 10054
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]SSL Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 10054
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Client unable to establish connection

How to fix this ?
