Link-local address does not work for ftp(1), because of protocol twist (and our laziness). It is documented in more recent KAME ftp(1) manpage. Please use global IPv6 addresses instead. Basic rule: link-local addresses are NOT for daily use. > fbsd1# ./ftp fe80:1::2a0:c9ff:fed7:2e16 Never specify interface index on your command lines, this is internal representation just for kernel use. > fbsd1# ./ftp fe80::2a0:c9ff:fed7:2e16 would be the correct one, however, even if you specify like this, ftp(1) will fail anyway. itojun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
