At my main router where i have a VM with FTP in the same subnet. (Source:10.1.1.2)

But in other locations connected by ipsec i have a problems (10.1.12.0). Connection between 10.1.12.0 <-> 10.1.1.234 its working. But only if i chose my internal interface. From global cli doesnt work. I dont use a vdoms at this FG.

Hi Zmk,

 

I don't think there is the output interface setting.
However, you can use a local lan address as a Virtual IP address (example 10.1.12.250 if free) to the backup FTP server address.   

The virtual IP would be :   external IP 10.1.12.250 map to 10.1.1.234 for the port 21 (ftp)


So the for backup command would be:   execute backup full-configuration ftp fg.conf 10.1.12.250 fg test123

 

i have try this configuration in lab , it's ok for me after this change.

 

Best regards

Trafic destination was changed from IPSEC tunnel to local lan

SCP is working properly, i just use other protocol. SCP is more secure

Best Regards and thanks for answer
