IPv6 Support
To support IPv6 functionality, you must modify the /etc/inetd.conf file as follows:
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/bin/ftpd ftpd -l
However, if you specify tcp instead of tcp6, FTP operates in the IPv4 mode.
Following are the features that support IPv6:
• Implementation of RFC 2428 (FTP Extensions for IPv6 and NATs)
This RFC specifies a method by which FTP clients and server exchange data
connection information, such as port, host address, and type of protocol family,
for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
FTP uses EPRTand EPSV instead of PORTand PASV, respectively, for IPv6
connections.
