zFTP plugin --secure-ftp documentation or capability bug #183

@dspotteb-art

Description

@dspotteb-art

from docs.zowe.org:
--secure-ftp (boolean)

Set to true for both control and data connection encryption, 'control' for control connection encryption only, or 'implicit' for implicitly encrypted control connection (this mode is deprecated in modern times, but usually uses port 990). Note: Unfortunately, this plugin's functionality only works with FTP and FTPS, not 'SFTP' which is FTP over SSH.

Default value: true

indicates option is boolean yet description indicates allowable values are "true', 'control' or 'implicit'. Actual usage of option rejects any but the 'true'.
In my case, I need to be able to specify implicit (or otherwise invoke that functionality) as my attempts to establish a connection have both endpoints staring at each other waiting for the other to begin the handshake. Ultimately resulting in an ECONNRESET

If I code "implicit" I get the following:
Syntax Error:
Invalid value specified for option:
--secure-ftp

You specified:
implicit

The value must be a boolean (true or false).

Haven't been able to get far enough along to find if this will be an issue but will also need to use ACTIV mode. PASV mode is disabled on server
