Follow these steps to establish an FTP connection (In IPv6 networking):
To do… Use the command… Remarks

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

command is available in
FTP client view.
