Oops sorry, meant to include that in my original message. Yes I tried setting the proxies in the preferences but it gives no place to enter a user name and password. It would be soo much better if fink picked up the proxy settings from the System Preferences.
thanks Hamish

Hi
I installed Fink 0.6.2 and also Fink Commajnder . My problem is that my college has proxy servers for external access:
-------------------------------------------------------
The ftp proxy is available at ftp-proxy.tcd.ie port 21 (standard FTP port)
It is a proxy of type "USER after login".
FTP Proxy Usage
NB: Most FTP programs will not work with the FTP proxy server!
In order to work via a proxy, the FTP program needs to send additional authentication information to the proxy, and this is not defined in the current FTP protocol specification. Different methods have emerged to work around this problem. The TCD FTP Proxy uses the "USER after logon" method, and you will need to use an FTP program which supports this method.
and the http proxy is proxy2.tcd.ie on port 8001 -------------------------------------------------------
I get the following error when I try and install something: ----- Failed: file download failed for <file name here> -----
So can anyone help me set up fink? I am running a clean 10.3.2 install and have the dev tools installed.
thanks for any help --h
Did you try setting up the proxies under Fink Commander's Preferences->Download ?
