mode
SILENT	ScriptFTP will only show errors, transferred files and PRINT messages. All information other than that about the script run will be suppressed.

VERBOSE	ScriptFTP will show the dialog with the FTP server, DNS resolving issues and connection loss messages.
DEBUG	Equivalent to VERBOSE but also show internal ScriptFTP messages.

- - - The dialog between ScriptFTP and the FTP server.
    - DNS resolving issues.
    - Connection loss messages.
    - Debug information about the status of ScriptFTP or the command currently executed. (DEBUG)

This command is usually put at the beginning of a script file.
