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
by 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
Log in to the FTP server from user view.
Log in to the FTP server from FTP client view.
Command
system-view
ftp client source { interface
interface-type interface-number | ip
source-ip-address }
quit
•
(Approach 1) Log in to the FTP
server in user view:
ftp [ server-address [ service-port ]
[ source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip
source-ip-address } ] ]
•
(Approach 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 ] [ source ipv6
source-ipv6-address ] [ -i interface-type
interface-number ] ]
c. ftp ipv6
d. open ipv6 server-address [ service-port ] [ -i
interface-type interface-number ]

Remarks
N/A
Optional.
By default, the primary IP
address of the output
interface is used as the
source IP address.
N/A
Use either approach.
