Hi!
 
 The problem is I am trying to install Ports that I really needed and it seems 
 that I does not work when THOSE PORTS NEEDED TO BE DOWNLOADED USES FTP...How 
 can I set things or my system that our Proxy Server is not using the default 
 Port Settings...How can I let my system and those programs needed to run to 
 downloaded Ports know that our Proxy Server has HTTP Port set to 10080 and 
 FTP Port set to 10021.  For example, how can I configure cvsup-without-gui 
 to use the following settings above...
 
Have you tried to set the FTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY environment
variables? fetch (the program ports use to get the distribution files)
will honor them (more in fetch(3)).

HTH,

Thanks for the reply,
 Have you tried to set the FTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY environment
 variables? fetch (the program ports use to get the distribution files)
 will honor them (more in fetch(3)).

When I first tried to instal CVSup, I really had a hard time in doing it...after a 
long time of research using Google and Netscape Search...I stumbled on a Thread that 
mentioned about how fetch's honors the HTTP and FTP mentioned in one's 
environemnt...Since FreeBSD has set me up to use Bourne Shell ($, I hope I am 
right)...I then put

http_proxy=http://192.168.1.5:10080/; export http_proxy
ftp_proxy=ftp://192.168.1.5:10021/; export ftp_proxy

in my .shrc file located my directory and I was able to download and install the cvsup 
Port...I thought that finally I can use cvsup and install all the Ports that I 
need...it turns out that...Yes, I was successfull in installing Sylpheed, but no I 
could not download and install the ports vilearn, kinput2-canna, but again I was 
successfull in installing Canna, and Eterm.

Now, I do not know why I can download some Ports and can not on others...
