Hello. 2012/07/12 13:19:56 -0400 Lowell Gilbert <freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org> => To Kaya Saman : LG> URLs as well as FTP. For ones that aren't, (and assuming the rather LG> silly security policies won't allow for an external web-based FTP proxy) LG> you may need to bring them in by offline media. I believe there should be the way of using the passive ftp (and any other protocol) via the HTTP CONNECT method to the ftp (or any other port needed for other protocol/app) port and then handling the both control and data connections through the consequent copmmands and data exhange. As far as I remember this can be done at least via the http://delegate.org software, certainly available in the ports collection. Kaya, if your http proxy handles HTTP CONNECT to the port 21/ftp this can be the workaround for you about the freebsd ports requiring ftp download ability. Most surprise for me is why no one is interested about what kind of a danger the ftp protocol can ever be? i. e. skype is much more vicious in comparison to ftp and s much harder to be restricted by a packet filter if even possoible. -- Peter Vereshagin <peter@vereshagin.org> (http://vereshagin.org) pgp: A0E26627
