did you try typing 'PASV' at the ftp command line? Here's a helpful set of references: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/packages-using.ht= ml http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html ------------------------------------------------ Adam Crosby District Systems Engineer Norfolk Public Schools (757) 628-3450 ------------------------------------------------ >>> "Anthony Abby" <anthonyabby@mail.aplusdata.com> 08/29/02 08:45AM >>> Okay, I have played with this over the past several days and I'm all = played out. I can not determine why this is happening because I'm just = too new to FreeBSD. I have a spare desktop at work that I loaded FreeBSD 4.6.2 on. Everything = works great on the system, but I can not use passive ftp on it, even = though I can (and do) use passive ftp on a Windows 2000 system sitting = right next to it on my desk. Yes, these systems are behind a firewall, = but again, it works on my Windows 2000 box. I want to upgrade or install a port on my BSD box, and as is expected, if = the package isn't located in the distfiles directory, the system attempts = to ftp the file from one of several servers. It always fails and asks me = to manually copy the file to that directory. I can ftp into ftp.freebsd.or= g just fine (or any other ftp site), but if I attempt to do anything in = ftp that requires passive connectivity, such as ls, mget, mput, etc, I get = a Connection refused error. NcFtp works just fine however! I can do = everything that one would normally need to do using ftp through NcFtp, = just not FTP... odd. Anyway, this is driving me crazy and look as I might on the system I can = not see any reason why this might be happening and I haven't located any = "documentation" online explaining this error either. I know it's not an = install issue because I loaded FreeBSD up on a spare system at home last = night and install Mozilla using ports....=20 So, can anyone explain to me why I do not have complete ftp functionallity = on this system here at work? Any idea of where I might begin to even look = to troubleshoot it? Thanks for any help.
