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 or dialer 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 and source IP address settings 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 Command Remarks

interface is used as the source
IP address.
3. Return to user view. quit N/A
4. Log in to the remote FTP
server.

• (Method 2) In FTP client view:
a. ftp
b. open server-address
[ service-port ]

Task Command Remarks
Log in to the remote FTP server.
• (Method 1) In user view:
ftp ipv6 [ server-address [ service-port ]
[
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
[ source ipv6 source-ipv6-address ] [ -i
interface-type interface-number ] ]
• (Method 2) In FTP client view:
c. ftp ipv6
d. open ipv6 server-address [ service-port ]
[ -i interface-type interface-number ]
Use either method.
The ftp ipv6 command
