Meaning, it doesn't exist on that server in that location. FTP is working fine. You can verify this by logging into ftp.freebsd.org manually and checking for that file at path specified. Try fetching the package manually from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All/mysql-se= rver-4.1.7.tbz The environment variable you are talking about regarding passive FTP is: FTP_PASSIVE_MODE I believe that is set to "YES" by default.
