Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies the source interface for establishing FTP connections. The primary IPv4 address of the source interface is used as the source IP address of packets sent to a FTP server. Make sure the interface is up and has the primary IPv4 address configured. Otherwise, the transmission fails.

ip source-ip-address: Specifies the source IP address for outgoing FTP packets. It must be the IPv4 address of an interface in up state. Otherwise, the transmission fails.

Usage guidelines

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

The source address specified with the ftp command takes precedence over the source address specified with the ftp client source command.

The source address specified with the ftp client source command applies to all FTP connections. The source address specified with the ftp command applies only to the current FTP connection.

Examples

# Specify the source IPv4 address for outgoing FTP packets as 192.168.20.222.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ftp client source ip 192.168.20.222
