Re: How to bind FTP to a specific address.

Yeah, the remote site expects it to come from a particular IP address.
I can "fix" one situation. When I ftp from one lpar to a lpar in the DMZ
I can open up the exit point on the lpar in the dmz to accept the whole
range of addresses served by this source lpar.
However the other situation requires I talk to the "consultant".
Apparently certain bar code printers accept ftp commands. And these are
locked down by the IP address they expect communications to come from.

What difference does it make which IP address is used for an outgoing
connection? Is it a security thing?
