z
The FTP function is available when a route exists between the FTP server and the FTP client.
z
When a device serving as the FTP server logs onto the device using IE, some IE functions are not
supported because multiple user connections are established, and the device supports only one
connection currently.
Configuring the FTP Client
Establishing an FTP Connection
To access an FTP server, the FTP client must connect with it. Two ways are available for the connection:
using the ftp command to establish the connection directly; using the open command in FTP client
view.
Multiple routes may exist for the FTP client to successfully access the FTP server. You can specify one
by configuring the source address of the packets of the FTP client to meet the requirement of the
security policy of the FTP client. You can configure the source address by configuring the source
interface or source IP address. The primary IP address configured on the source interface is the source
address of the transmitted packets. The source address of the transmitted packets is selected following
these rules:
z
If no source address of the FTP client is specified, a device uses the IP address of the interface
determined by the routing protocol as the source IP address to communicate with an FTP server.
z
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.
z
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 FTP connection (In IPv4 networking):

to communicate with the FTP
server by default.
