Subject: setting passive ftp for use with ports


> Presently,  trying to install programs from ports fails.
> It begins to initiate a normal FTP connection and then fails because the
> PC in question is behind a firewall.
> 
> How can I change the setting so that when using ports, only PASSIVE FTP
> is used by default
> 

From the fetch(1) manual page:

ENVIRONMENT
           FTP_PASSIVE_MODE  force the use of passive mode FTP
