Establishing An Ftp Connection - HP 5830 Series Configuration Manual

Establishing an FTP connection

To access an FTP server, use the ftp command in user view or use the open command in FTP client view
to establish a connection to the FTP server.
You can use the ftp client source command to specify a source IP address or source interface for the FTP
packets sent by the device. If a source interface (typically a loopback interface) is specified, its primary
IP address is used as the source IP address for the FTP packets sent by the device. The source interface
setting and the source IP address setting overwrite each other.
The ftp client source command setting applies to all FTP sessions. When you set up an FTP session using
the ftp or ftp ipv6 command, you can also specify a different source IP address for the FTP session.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid FTP connection failures, when you specify a source interface for FTP packets, make sure the
interface has been assigned a primary IP address.
To establish an IPv4 FTP connection:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Specify a source IP address
for outgoing FTP packets.
3. Return to user view.
4. Log in to the FTP server.
To establish an IPv6 FTP connection, perform one of the following tasks:
Task

Command
system-view
ftp client source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip source-ip-address }
quit

user view:
ftp [ server-address [ service-port ]
[ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
[ source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip
source-ip-address } ] ]
•
(Method 2) Log in to the FTP server in
FTP client view:
a. ftp
b. open server-address
[ service-port ]
Command
ftp ipv6 [ server-address [ service-port ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] [ source ipv6
source-ipv6-address ] [ -i interface-type
