This is perhaps a stupid question, but I have to ask it, as I cannot find the information myself. When I try to install ports, they very often fail on getting the distfiles, with errors like: fetch: Syntax error, command unrecognized or fetch: Can't open data connection I can, however, download the distfiles myself through ftp from the same sites, but often (not always!) have to set the mode to passive. Is there a way to tell the ports to do the same?
