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 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
