[New-bugs-announce] [issue8594] Add a "source_address" option to ftplib

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rodola at gmail.com>:

Similarly to issue 3972 the patch in attachment adds a new "source_address" option to FTP class to bind to a specific address when connecting to a remote FTP server.

It must be noted that this gets done for both control and passive data connections (client connecting to server). The latter one solves issue 1661754.
