You can use the ftp client source command to specify a source IP address or source interface for the FTP

packets sent by the device. If a source interface (typically, a loopback or dialer interface) is specified,
its primary 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 by

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
interface has been assigned a primary IP address.
