that the -ZZ option be used in place of this option to cause the operation
to abort if an error occurs.
If a port is specified with this with this option, it must
accept clear text connections.
To verify the server identity, this option should be used
in conjunction with the -e option to specify a server certificate
file to validate the server trusted root certificate when TLS is
started. If the -e option is not specified, any certificate from
the server will be accepted. |
