Followup questions. This code is called from a couple of places which send
in the info on what server to connect with. Its possible that some places
still want a regular FTP connection and some want to use a secure
connection. Once I add the handler will it still work as a regular
connection also? If it tries to connect with a server and the server is
just FTP will it still connect okay but if the server is wanting a secure
connection then it will use that mode instead? Or do I have to check how
the calling routine will want it and only try to connect in that mode (in
other words I have to know BEFORE connecting what mode I want to be in)?
