FTP Profile while preserving the Client IP?

Hi there, is it possible to use the FTP profile while preserving the client original IP similar to the HTTP X Forward insert options? Thanks

    Hi evick27,

     

     

    There's no X-Forwarded-For option that I am aware of for FTP. You can however leave SNAT off and the source address will be unchanged by LTM. You'll need to look at how you are routing traffic from your origin FTP servers in order to make this work.

  • Thanks for the response. That is what I was thinking, but was still holding out hope. As for the SNAT, at this time, that is needed based on how the devices were implemented.
