option

Shows or sets value of script options.

option [ <option> [ <value> ] ]

If no parameters are specified, lists all script options and their values. When one parameter is specified only, shows value of the option. When two parameters are specified sets value of the option. Initial values of some options are taken from application configuration, however modifying the options does not change the application configuration.

Options are:

Option	Values and description
`echo`	`off\|on` Toggles echoing of command being executed. Commands affected: all
`batch`	`off\|on\|abort\|continue` Enables batch mode. In batch mode, any choice prompt is automatically replied and any input prompt is cancelled (after short time interval). In batch mode, it is recommended to set `confirm` to `off` to allow overwrites. When batch mode is set to `on` any choice prompt is automatically replied negatively. Unless the prompt has different default answer (such as default “Reconnect” answer for reconnect prompt), in what case the default answer is used (after short time interval). Value `abort` is like `on`. In addition, the script is aborted, when any script command fails or any choice prompt is replied with “Abort” answer (or similar). When set to `continue` any choice prompt is automatically replied with “Skip”, “Ignore” or similar answer. Commands affected: nearly all
`confirm`	`off\|on` Toggles confirmations (overwrite, etc.). Commands affected: `get`, `put`
`transfer`	Deprecated in the latest beta release, use `-transfer` switch of respective commands. `binary\|ascii\|automatic` Transfer mode: binary, ascii (text), automatic (by extension). Commands affected: `get`, `put`, `synchronize`, `keepuptodate`
`exclude` `include`	Deprecated in the latest beta release, use `-filemask` switch of respective commands. `clear \| <mask>[;<mask2>...]` Sets exclusion or inclusion masks (only one can be set at time). Commands affected: `get`, `put`, `synchronize`, `keepuptodate`
`reconnecttime`	`off \| <sec>` Sets time limit in seconds to try reconnecting broken sessions. Commands affected: `get`, `put`, `synchronize`, `keepuptodate`

Note that resetting the same option overwrites a previous value, it does not append.

Aliases: ascii (for option transfer ascii), binary (for option transfer binary)
