Sorry about confusion. Oops. Totally different meaning of "ports" than whet I had assumed. The ports system uses the "fetch" command. See "man fetch" and "man 3 fetch" for details. It can use either http or ftp, depending on the content of the Makefile for the given port. See the "MASTER_SITES" entry in the Makefile. It uses the port, based on the protocol in the specified URL. If ftp is the protocol, it uses the environmental variable "FTP_PASSIVE_MODE" to determine whether to use passive mode FTP or normal FTP. Other environmental variables are listed in the fetch(3) man page. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
