Simply assign/unassigned the IOHandler property, or set the UseTLS property,
before calling Connect() each time.

Yes, but you have to tell TIdFTP not to use its SSL capabilities. That is
what the UseTLS property is for.

In order to do that, you have to set the UseTLS property to utUseExplicitTLS
while an SSL IOHandler is assigned. When logging in, TIdFTP will then ask
the server if an encrypted connection is allowed. If it is not, an
exception will be raised that you can catch in order to reset the UseTLS
property back to utNoTLSSupport and attempt to login normally instead.
