Can I ftp with a specified interface?

[MA Qiang]

In my box, I have 2 interfaces for MC packages: lan1:1(10.10.20.40), and lan1:2(10.10.20.41). The ftp server only allowed incoming IP 10.10.20.41. Can I connect to the ftp server with specified IP 10.20.20.41?

Thanks.

Yes.

If you have a floating ip its best to use that for external ftp transactions. This way ftp transactions,scripts, users don't care what the state of the cluster is.

Sorry for the ambiguity of my question.
My box with IP 10.10.20.40 and 10.10.20.41 is the CLIENT. I want to access the ftp server which only allows the IP 10.10.20.41.

Thanks.

Connectivity or Sending pockets are based on routing setting? what is the ip-address of ftp server.

# traceroute

which ip-address it's using to take to reach ftp-server?

You have to set routing to ftp server accordingly.

To know routing then,

# netstat -rvn

I am not familiar with routing.
Would you please tell me how to 'set routing to ftp server' when I access the ftp server?

Thanks.

Can you post your routing setting information as,

# netstat -rn

what is the ftp server IP-Address?

Post this two information so that you can change referring routing setting to your FTP client machine.

Do you want FTP access from 10.10.20.41 (client) to 10.10.33.89 (Server) ?

10.20.20.19 10.20.20.19 UH 0 lan1 4136
10.20.20.40 10.20.20.40 UH 0 lan1:1 4136

Server 10.20.20.41 routing will be done through lan1 as Default. If you are having aliasing in an interface as lan1:1 and lan1:2 then, it will take first preceding interface.

Just do as,

# route add host 10.10.33.89 10.20.20.41

You have to change in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for permanet availability.

#traceroute 10.20.20.41
will have to use 10.20.20.41 now.
