HP Operating the directories on an FTP server

•If you use the ftp client source command and the ftp command to specify a source address respectively, the source address specified with the ftp command is used to communicate with an FTP server.

•The source address specified with the ftp client source command is valid for all FTP connections and the source address specified with the ftp command is valid only for the current FTP connection.

Follow these steps to establish an IPv4 FTP connection:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks
Enter system view	system-view	—

Configure the source address of the FTP client

ftp client source { interface interface-typeinterface-number ip source-ip-address}

Optional

A switch uses the IP address of the interface determined by the matched route as the source IP address to communicate with the FTP server by default.

Exit to system view	quit	—
	ftp [ server-address [ service-port ]
Log in to the remote FTP server	[ source { interface interface-type	Use either approach.
directly in user view	interface-number ip	The ftp command is available
	source-ip-address } ] ]
		in user view, and the open
Log in to the remote FTP server	ftp	command is available in FTP
		client view.
indirectly in FTP client view	open server-address [ service-port ]

NOTE:

•If there is not a primary IP address configured on the specified source interface, you cannot establish an FTP connection.

•If you use the ftp client source command to configure a source interface and then use it to configure a source IP address, the source IP address overwrites the source interface, and vice versa.

Follow these steps to establish an IPv6 FTP connection:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

	ftp ipv6 [ server-address
Log in to the remote FTP server	[ service-port] [ source ipv6
directly in user view	source-ipv6-address ] [ -i
	interface-type interface-number ] ]
	ftp ipv6
Log in to the remote FTP server
	open ipv6 server-address
indirectly in FTP client view
	[ service-port ] [ -iinterface-type
	interface-number ]

Use either approach.

The ftp ipv6 command is available in user view; and the open ipv6 command is available in FTP client view.

Operating the directories on an FTP server

After the switch serving as the FTP client has established a connection with an FTP server, you can create or delete folders under the authorized directory of the FTP server. For more information about establishing an FTP connection, see “Establishing an FTP connection.”
