Hi, No, I'm not using any proxy. It is a straight forward IPFilter firewall with simple NAT on it. From the same machine I'm trying to run RPM, I'm able to run wget and curl without any proxy setup and both in active and passive ftp.
I've done snooping on port 21 while doing a rpm -Uvh <url> and I can see the connection going on. It is really login on the remote server. I'm trying to figure if it wouldn't be on the local side that RPM is unable to write the file. Where rpm is trying to download the file? And which owner/permission should be setted on this directory? I've tried modifying the TMPDIR variable and use something like /openpkg/tmp that is now 777 with owner openpkg (I've tried openpkg-r, openpkg-n and openpkg as well as root). Is there any log that can be activated in RPM to have more details? Thank you.

Do you use a proxy by having set the ftp_proxy environment variable? wget and curl will honor that setting, rpm will not.
