Hi freebsd folks, I'm having troubles installing some ports because I'm behind a restrictive pf firewall. I've heard that this could be circumvented if I use a ftp_proxy. I have this debian server that can access ftp sites and I installed vsftp on that and checked I can get to that box with ftp. However, if I try this command from my freebsd box: fetch: ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/utilities/screen/screen-4.0.3.tar.gz I get: "Not logged in" My ftp proxy environment variable in .profile is: FTP_PROXY=ftp://ftp:ftp@192.168.2.101:21 (also tried with only ftp://192.168.2.101:21 but no luck) export FTP_PROXY Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Dino
