proxy authentication isn't supported in ftp. pkg_add can use
a different program to carry out the transfer, though:
FETCH_CMD Override use of ftp(1). Must point to a command that
understands ${FETCH_CMD} -o - url.
as you'll see from ftp(1), "-o -" dumps the file to stdout.
sounds like you're probably using an HTTP proxy server to fetch
things, is that right? if so you might have luck with a script
that does something like this,
lynx -pauth=user:pass -dump "$3"
(not tested at all, but hopefully you get the idea - if it's no
good, use these clues to work something out for yourself :)
