Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Is there any way to tell the ports "make install" to use an ftp proxy to get installation files? At work I'm behind a firewall, and to do ftp either have to do it manually through a gauntlet firewall gateway, or via a webbrowser to go through the netscape proxy. Also, the faster of the two connections I have available requires me to put in a username and password - is there likely to be any way of getting authenticated ftp proxy access to the ports installer? cheers jesse ps, i'm not on the freebsd-questions list, so please reply directly to me, thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesse Reynolds phone: 02 9475 1795 Fujitsu Australia Limited email: jesser@drives.rta.nsw.gov.au Unit 6, 149 Arthur St, Flemington, NSW 2140 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
