HOD v14.0.2. FTP client does not support the SECURE SESSION REUSE feature

HOD FTP Client is the most used FTP client in our environment.
As we're using FTPS with TLS 1.2 at the moment, we couldn't use SECURE_SESSION_REUSE parameter with REQUIRED value, as HOD does not support this FTP feature.
I'm opening this RFE to implement this FTP feature into the next HOD packages, because:
Reusing TLS session protects you from a theoretical possibility that an attacker hijacks an FTP data connection. When you initiate a data transfer, the server opens a data connection port on the server (in a passive mode).
