• If you use the ftp client source command and the ftp command to specify a source address
respectively, the source address specified with the ftp command 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… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Configure the source address of
the FTP client
ftp client source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip source-ip-address }
Optional
A switch 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.
Exit to system view quit —
Log in to the remote FTP server
directly in user view
ftp [ server-address [ service-port ]
[ source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip
source-ip-address } ] ]
ftp
Log in to the remote FTP server
indirectly in FTP client view
open server-address [ service-port ]
Use either approach.
The ftp command is available
in user view, and the open
command is available in FTP
client view.
NOTE:
• If there is not a primary IP address configured on the specified source interface, you cannot establish an
FTP connection.
• If you use the ftp client source command to confi
g
ure a source interface and then use it to confi
g
ure a
source IP address, the source IP address overwrites the source interface, and vice versa.
Follow these steps to establish an IPv6 FTP connection:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Log in to the remote FTP server
directly in user view
ftp ipv6 [ server-address
[ service-port ] [ source ipv6
source-ipv6-address ] [ -i
interface-type interface-number ] ]
ftp ipv6
Log in to the remote FTP server
indirectly in FTP client view
open ipv6 server-address
[ service-port ] [ -i interface-type
interface-number ]
Use either approach.
The ftp ipv6 command is available
in user view; and the open ipv6
command is available in FTP client
view.
