export/setenv http_proxy! of course, you have to find all of the distfiles manually, since only about 4% of them have an http site to download the source from. it works though, but i doubt it's what you are looking for. i had to do this behind a firewall/proxy architecture that did not allow ftp. why not try fwtk or socks5 or something else? i do kind of agree though. I like the options in freebsd to install via http_proxy, but i don't think there's an option for ftp_proxy. it all works really well, it just doesn't flow. i guess better integration between ftp and sysinstall and ports would be nice. also, all these different security models for downloading are interesting.. but what really are the differences? i guess it's just better to support everything than have only one simple way of getting freebsd, freebsd source, and/or ports. dre On Sat, Apr 01, 2000 at 11:25:55AM -0700, Nate Williams wrote: > > I'm looking for some input on how to set up > > FTP through an IPFW firewall so that you don't > > have to run passive mode. > > > > Passive mode makes things like building ports difficult. > > Why?
