If you're in ftp.freebsd.org, if the directory is inn for instance, do 'get inn.tar.gz' and it will zip up and download the whole directory. 2) Extract the above archive into a temporary location. 3) su to root. 4) Go into the unzipped directory (inn for instance) and type 'make install'. the port will download the proper file (if you don't have it), patch, compile, and install. That is the easiest way. As always, check any README files and files in the pkg/ directory before installing.
