I am having trouble with a proxy server at my office where I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE via ethernet through a proxy server. For discussions sake lets call the proxy server proxy-server. In Netscape for Windows 95 I manually edit the proxys and add proxy-server as the server for FTP and the port is 8080. From a unix box I can run: ftp proxy-server 1555 which then asks for my username and I put in anonymous@ftp.freebsd.org and it puts me through. I have tried everything I can think of to get the files via passive FTP but I am having no luck. When I look at VT2 for debugging it tells me 'FTP session closed OpenConn : 215444' or something like that and brings me back out. I have read the handbook and looked through the mailing list but the info is sparse. I did exactly what the handbook said to do. I changed the ftp username to ftp@ftp.freebsd.org and the password to richardl@work.com. For passive FTP I input the URL ftp://proxy-server:1555/pub/FreeBSD and I get the error above. Can someone please help? I would prefer private email as I had to unsubscribe from the mailing list due to the volume of email. TIA richardl
