I can see on my FTP server that the commands FreeBSD sends to receive the files are wrong. FreeBSD sends: > RETR packages/All/xxx > xxx being the name of the package. > When FreeBSD sends that, the server answer that the file does not exist, because I think the command should be: > RETR packages/All/xxx.tbz > I tried that command with my Windows ftp client and it works. But I don't know how to set it up in FreeBSD... > Thanks a lot for your help, and sorry if my english is not very good. I can suggest two work-arounds. Do not install any packages at first. Configure the network card. Reboot. Ftp to the windows box and download the packages you need by hand. Use pkg_add to install. Or, better. Run setenv PACKAGEROOT=ftp://1.2.3.4/path/to/All then install the packages with pkg_add -r package-name.version123. The setenv command can be added to /root/.cshrc if you want it set all the time.
