I have written an ftp server in perl to aid with installations over ftp. http://www.ludd.luth.se/~pb/perlftp3.pl Do like this: If your release is located in /path_to_relases/5.4-RELEASE on 10.0.0.99 Type on your 10.0.0.99 freebsd machine: perlftp3.pl /path_to_relases 12000 Then start sysinstall on the machine to be installed/configured. Select: "3 FTP Passive Install from an FTP server through a firewall". Select: "URL Specify some other ftp site by URL" Type: 10.0.0.99:12000/ (complete url ftp://10.0.0.99:12000/) Security: Any user/pass combination will do. Will only read files. Locks on the IP of the first client. I hope this ease some installation scenarios. /P
