H3C WA Series Fundamentals Configuration Manual page 58

If the source address is specified with the ftp client source or ftp command, this source address is
used to communicate with an FTP server.
If the source address is specified with the ftp client source command and then with the ftp
command, the address specified with the latter one is used to communicate with an FTP server.
The source address specified with the ftp client source command is valid for all FTP connections and
the source address specified with the ftp command is valid only for the current FTP connection.
Follow these steps to establish an IPv4 FTP connection:
To do...
Enter system view
Configure the source address of
the FTP client
Exit to system view
Log in to the remote FTP server
directly in user view
Log in to the remote FTP server
indirectly in FTP client view
If no primary IP address is configured on the specified source interface, no FTP connection can be
established.
If you use the ftp client source command to first configure the source interface and then the
source IP address of the transmitted packets, the new source IP address will overwrite the current
one, and vice versa.
Follow these steps to establish an IPv6 FTP connection:
To do...
Log in to the remote FTP server
directly in user view
Log in to the remote FTP server
indirectly in FTP client view
Use the command...
system-view
ftp client source { interface
interface-type interface-number |
ip source-ip-address }
quit
ftp [ server-address [ service-port ]
[ source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip
source-ip-address } ] ]
ftp
open server-address
[ service-port ]
Use the command...
ftp ipv6 [ server-address
[ service-port ] [ source ipv6
source-ipv6-address ] [ -i
interface-type interface-number ] ]
ftp ipv6
open ipv6 server-address
[ service-port ] [ -i interface-type
interface-number ]

Remarks
—
Optional
An AP uses the IP address of the
interface determined by the
matched route as the source IP
address to communicate with the
FTP server by default.
—
Use either command.
The ftp command is available in
user view; and the open command
is available in FTP client view.
Remarks
Use either command.
The ftp ipv6 command is available
in user view; and the open ipv6
command is available in FTP client
view.
