Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to get the port netscape4 from /pub/FreeBSD/ports-2.2.5/www/. On page 94 of "The Complete FreeBSD" the author says that since these are directories you must tell ftp to automatically to tar and gzip them by typing get xmbase-...tar.gz. xmbase-grok.tar.gz is the example he uses in the book. So if I what to get the port netscape4 I should be able to type get netscape4.tar.gz. When I try this I get a error message saying no such file exist. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
