UseIPv6 property


Determines if wodFTPServer uses IPv6 protocol.

Type

A Boolean value.

Syntax

  • Basic
object.UseIPv6 [= value]
The UseIPv6(object,value) syntax has these parts:
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type wodFTPD.
valueA Boolean value.

Remarks

UseIPv6 determines if component will use IPv6 socket stack addresses to listen for incoming FTP, FTPS or SFTP connections. For local interface definition it will accept both numeric values, such as
 
fe80::213:20ff:fe91:5bb5
 

but also fully qualified hostnames that resolve to local IPv6 addresses, such as
 
www.google.com.sixxs.org
 

When you supply BindIP property value, only specific IPv6 interface is used for accepting connections. If BindIP is empty, all IPv6 interfaces are listening.

In order to use IPv6, your version of Windows needs to support it. To install it on Windows XP, right-click on your 'network connection interface' icon, select 'Properties', and then check if Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 is listed. If not, click on 'Install' button, choose 'Protocol' and then locate above from the list. If IPv6 stack is not installed on the computer, this property is ignored.
