An option file is read in with the readopt command. This command supplements/replaces the options which were read from the global and local option files when the FTP client was started (if these files existed at startup time). You can execute the readopt command as often as you wish, for example to form option records which are distributed over different files, or to switch between various option records.
The readopt command should, if possible, not be executed for an existing FTP connection. Depending on the contents of the option file this could result in inconsistencies between the settings in the local and the remote systems.
Please note that for some TLS options any change made after TLS initialization remains ineffective. If you wish to work with changed TLS options, you must terminate and then restart the FTP client.
