I have multiple interfaces set up on my lan card. When I ftp out from an
i5/os command line (or program or ...) how can I ensure that it binds to a
specific address?
I didn't see anything in CHGFTPA.

I thought about working with the tcp/ip routes. Like, changing the
default route to bind to a particular interface. However I have concerns
if that would screw up other applications. For example
Lets say I have the following interfaces defined
10.10.1.15 MYI5
10.10.1.16 MYDOMINO01
10.10.1.17 MYDOMINO02
10.10.1.18 MYWAS01

If I change
RMVTCPRTE RTEDEST(*DFTROUTE)
SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0')
NEXTHOP('10.10.1.1')
BINDIFC(*NONE)
to
ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST(*DFTROUTE)
SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0')
NEXTHOP('10.10.1.1')
BINDIFC('10.10.1.15')
That's not going to try to bind my Domino applications to that particular
address also is it?

Let me throw one more interface into the mix.
10.10.20.15 MYI5MIMIX
which uses a different line description, on a different NIC, to route all
mimix traffic over that other NIC. I can probably be safe with this last
addition because I only care about one particular external address and it
should use that route before it uses *DFTROUTE.
