Usage Guidelines

If you run the sftp command to log in to an SFTP server without specifying a source address or source interface, the source address or source interface specified through the sftp client-source command is adopted by default. If you simultaneously run the sftp command and specify a source address or source interface, the indicated source address or source interface is adopted. When viewing the current SFTP connection on the server, the specified source IP address or the primary IP address of the indicated interface is displayed as the IP address of the user.

Example

# Set the source IP address of the SFTP client to 1.1.1.1.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] sftp client-source -a 1.1.1.1
Info: Succeeded in setting the source address of the SFTP client to 1.1.1.1.
