	\param errbuf: a user-allocated buffer in which the error message (if one) has to be written.

	The error message is returned in the 'errbuf' variable.
	'-2' is returned in case the authentication failed or in case of a recoverable error (like
	wrong version). In that case, 'errbuf' keeps the reason of the failure. This provides
	a way to know that the connection does not have to be closed.

	In case the message is a 'CLOSE' or an 'ERROR', it returns -3. The error can be due to a
	connection refusal in active mode, since this host cannot be allowed to connect to the remote
