Hi all folks, sometime I try to fetch packages through a firewall/proxy. Http works well, but ftp does not. The environment variables http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy are set to the proxy address. But all the time I try to fetch via ftp I find the target address (Foreign Address) with netstat, with http I find the proxy address. The ftp connect hangs until a timeout, after some minutes. "netstat -a" for a ftp fetch: Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 6.1.159.239.49950 ftp.cerias.purdu.ftp SYN_SENT Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 6.1.159.239.49942 util9.math.uh.ed.ftp SYN_SENT "netstat -a" for a http fetch: Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 6.1.159.239.49961 webproxy.... ESTABLISHED "netstat -a" for a ftp connection (manually operated): Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 6.1.159.239.49956 ftpproxy.... ESTABLISHED Does someone know how MacPorts connect to the ftp proxy, how ftp is called by MacPorts. Manually I use "ftp ftpproxy" and for the User Prompt I enter "anonymous@ftp.target" and for the password prompt "my mail address". This works well, with OS X, Linux and WXP. Any idea what's going wrong?! Thanks for any help, Lutz "Jetzt Handykosten senken mit klarmobil - 14 Ct./Min.!
