Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies a source interface by its type and number. The SFTP client uses the primary IPv4 address of the interface as the source address of outgoing SFTP packets.

ip ip-address: Specifies a source IPv4 address.

Usage guidelines

This command takes effect on all SFTP connections. The source IPv4 address specified in the sftp command takes effect only on the current SFTP connection. If you specify the source IPv4 address both in this command and the sftp command, the source IPv4 address specified in the sftp command takes effect.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Specify 192.168.0.1 as the source IPv4 address for SFTP packets.

[Sysname] sftp client source ip 192.168.0.1
