How to direct FTP command to use a specific IP add or NIC ?

Hi,

My requirement is to transfer huge amount of data using FTP from one unix box to another.
And our server has 2 NIC cards ( 100Mbps/Full duplex ) one is considered as primary and other is used for only backups.

When I plna to transfer the files, how can I tell ftp to use only the backup NIC for data transfer ( I dont want to use the primary NIC card as it will be busy during the business hours ) .

thanks in advance.
