Dear all, I tried installing GridFTP on Freebsd, had errors which a user group said is due to bsd tar and I downloaded and installed Gnu tar which is required but the command 'tar --version' still show bsd tar as the default. Tried using package and encountered error as shown below. [prom@pcbsd-2112] ~> tar --version bsdtar 2.7.0 - libarchive 2.7.0 [prom@pcbsd-2112] ~> su Password: [prom@pcbsd-2112] /home/prom# pkg_add -r tar Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/tar.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/tar.tbz' by URL I would be grateful if anyone could help me out on how to overwrite bsd tar with Gnu tar. Best Regards, Morp.
