The above handbook sections describe how to get CURRENT or STABLE via ftp like this: 3. Use ftp. The source tree for FreeBSD-current is always "exported" on: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current We also use `wu-ftpd' which allows compressed/tar'd grabbing of whole trees. e.g. you see: usr.bin/lex You can do: ftp> cd usr.bin ftp> get lex.tar.Z However, ftp.freebsd.org doesn't support compressing outgoing tar files on-the-fly. The ".Z" should be removed. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
