Hi,
is it possible to connect directly to a ipv6-IP (FTP)? I mean like: ftp://2345:2345:2345:.....and if the answer is yes, which client i can use (MacOSX or windows).
I have try it in filezilla, but if i enter the ip in the server-field, i got a error, that the Port is uncorrect, because the damn ':' ;)
I hope you understand what i mean
thank you

If you want to specify an IPv6 address in a URL the format is:
ftp://[2001:db8:1234::1]
http://[2001:db8:1234::1]
See RFC2732

I tried on Linux running vsftpd and the original command-line ftp client
For a scope-global address,
ftp 2001:db8:1234::1 worked fine.
For a scope-link address, I had to add the interface
ftp fe80::21c::1%eth1
Using Firefox, ftp://[2001:db8:1234::1]/pub works.
But ftp://[fe80::21c::1%eth1] gives an "oops" alert from the browser

You will always have to do that, as fe80::/10 is available on every interface in a machine, thus the OS would not know which one to use (unless you are evil and set a more specific route or do some other nasty trick like that).
In general, unless you really don't have any global addresses, just use the global addresses and ignore the link-local ones.
