Hi folks:
I've tried with no success to figure out how to poke a hole in my ipfw
firewall that will enable curl ftp to fetch files from an ftp site. I
also tried switching to curl-ssl but that didn't help. Normal ftp and
sftp works, so I am at a loss. What port and protocol do I need to
allow this? When I suspend my ipfw firewall, it works, so I know that
it must be the culprit, but this isn't a pretty way to do fink updates.
Thanks in advance.

I'm using System Preferences to configure ipfw, but had the same problem
with ftp downloads. To fix it, you should go to the Network pane, and select
the "Proxies" tab. Check the box that says "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)",
and all should be well.
And make sure you include the protocol in front of the proxy as well
ftp://proxy.yoursite.somewhere
I've just spent a frustrating couple of days trying to track down why my fink{,commander} didn't work because of this.
"fink configure" gives helpful hints in this direction, but FC Preferences and the Fink FAQ Q 3.2 do not. (Can the documentation be updated to reflect this?)
