After this configuration, FTP clients can access this serveronly through the IP address of the specified interface or the specified IP address.Note:Source interface refers to the existing VLAN interface or Loopback interface on thedevice. Source IP address refers to the IP address configured for the interface on thedevice. Each source interface corresponds to a source IP address. Therefore,specifying a source interface for the FTP server is the same as specifying the IPaddress of this interface as the source IP address.Follow these steps to specify the source interface and source IP address for an FTPserver:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Specify the sourceinterface for an FTPserverftp-server source-interfaceinterface-typeinterface-numberSpecifying the source IPaddress for an FTP serverftp-server source-ipip-addressUse either commandNot specified bydefault.Note:z The specified interface must be an existing one.
