Specifying a source IP address or source interface for the
SFTP client
By default, an SFTP client uses the IP address of the outbound interface specified by the route to the
SFTP server as the source IP address to communicate with the SFTP server. You can change the
source IP address or specify a source interface for the client.
To make sure the SFTP client and the SFTP server can communicate with each other, and to
improve the manageability of SFTP clients in the authentication service, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
recommends that you specify a loopback interface or dialer interface as the source interface.
To specify a source IP address or interface for the SFTP client:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Specify a source IP
address or interface
for the SFTP client.

interface for the SFTP client:
sftp client source { interface
interface-type interface-number| ip
ip-address }
• Specify a source IPv6 address or
interface for the SFTP client:
sftp client ipv6 source { interface
interface-type interface-number | ipv6
ipv6-address }
Use either command.
Establishing a connection to an SFTP server
You can launch the SFTP client to establish a connection to an SFTP server, and specify the public
key algorithm, the preferred encryption algorithm, preferred HMAC algorithm, and preferred key
exchange algorithm.
After the connection is established, you can directly enter SFTP client view on the server to perform
directory and file operations.
