iftp: Re-use "ftps:" in sub-processes started by "start"

[mdrmdr]

I create a ftp connection to a server using iftp. This allows me to use for example copy ftps:<file mask> <local dir>.
How can I (re-)use/pass the ftps: in/to several sub-processes started with start? Or do I have to create a new connection in each sub-process?

You cannot pass the IFTP handle between processes; each process needs to do its own IFTP.
