Without the -o file, then it gives a more reasonable message: $ fetch ftp://ftp.freeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/not-here fetch: not-here: Not Found $ >How-To-Repeat: $ fetch -o /tmp ftp://ftp.freeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/not-here fetch: /tmp/not-here: Not Found $ [NB: I'm using an HTTP_PROXY environment variable if that makes any difference.] >Fix: Unknown. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
