Subject:   install package from pre-downloaded tgz file?

When I tried to pkg_add -rv pkg-name got message that 
file could not be found on FTP server xxxxx or server 
could not be reached or no access  allowed. 
Before these messages it also said passive ftp enabled. 
I then used FBSD web/ports to locate the package and 
downloaded to a win box and then moved it to FBSD. 
I can not get pkg_add to find and use this package tgz file.

Does the package tgz file have to be in some directory for 
the pkg_add to find it? IF so where?

How do I get pkg_add to use the local package.tgz file 
to install from?
