Bind IP Address

Use this panel to specify the IP address that FTP clients use to login to this FTP server.

You are defining an FTP server, but the control port you selected is already reserved for another FTP server. Therefore, you are required to specify a IP address to associate with this FTP server.

Once you have completed your FTP server configuration, the FTP server's control port will be automatically reserved. The port will be reserved for the FTP jobname and will bind the IP address entered to the jobname. This allows FTP clients to login to the FTP server using the bind IP address, while another FTP server can also use the same port, but must be accessed with a different IP address.

A list of all the port reservations can be seen in the Basic Settings task.

You have completed this panel after entering the IP address.
