    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this Idea at this time, so it is being closed.
    Thank you for taking the time to submit your Idea.
    After careful consideration, we know that we cannot deliver your requested enhancement soon,
    so it is being declined.
    However, your Idea does align with the future strategy of our product and we believe it may have
    future value, so we will add it to an internal list for us to keep in mind for the future.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority Idea that should be addressed.

    All TCP/IP services should be able to bind to specific interphases for greater security.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.

    There is also the option to use the IBM i IP filter rules to disallow unwanted FTP server access.
    Here is a link for further information:

    This request is primarily for the System i FTP Server.

    All System i TCP Servers are started on all interfaces/ip addresses configured on the system.

    At the end cmd strtcpsrv should have the option to select at lease interface or even better IP address for starting

    reqired TCP services.
