Answer 1

Go to Configure Global Security > TCP port for JNLP agents and chose Random save and run your command again

Answer 2

It seems this is a similar problem as: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-23232

It suggests that you can add in your Jenkins system config:

JAVA_ARGS="-Dhudson.diyChunking=false"

(in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins for RHEL ; /etc/default/jenkins for Ubuntu/Debian)

You will need to do a restart of the Jenkins server
