(Optional) Configuring a Source Address for an FTP Client

You can configure a source address for an FTP client and use the source address to establish an FTP connection, ensuring file transfer security.

You can assign an IP address to an interface on an FTP client and use this IP address as the source address to establish an FTP connection.

Perform the following steps on the router that functions as an FTP client:

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run ftp client-source { -a ip-address | -i { interface-type interface-number | interface-name } } or ftp ipv6 client-source -a ipv6-address [ -vpn-instance ipv6-vpn-instance-name ]
A source address is configured for the FTP client.

After configuring a source address for an FTP client, run the display ftp-users command on the FTP server to check that the source address of the FTP client displayed in the command output is the same as the configured one.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
