So I am wondering what can I do?
Do you have HTTP access from the machine, possibly via some sort of
proxy? If so, you can tell the ports system to prefer HTTP rather than
FTP for fetching sources. Or if you'ld prefer to install via pkgs, you
can just substitute 'http' for 'ftp' when downloading from ftp.freebsd.org
* To make the ports prefer downloading sources via HTTP, add this to
/etc/make.conf:
MASTER_SORT?= http
Not all ports have sources available via HTTP, but you can make the
ports system grab the distfiles by HTTP from ftp.freebsd.org like so:
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
* To set up global FTP or HTTP proxies to be used by fetch(1), create
environment variables:
FTP_PROXY = http://your.proxy.server:3128
HTTP_PROXY = http://your.proxy.server:3128
You'll need to adapt that to local circumstances, obviously. Not all
proxies work via HTTP on port 3128, that's just what you'ld get with
squid. See fetch(3) for details of what environment settings you can
play with.
Note: a handy way to add those variables globally to all login sessions
is to use /etc/login.conf You want to change this line:
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
to read
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES,FTP_PROXY=http\c//your.proxy.server\c3128,HTTP_PROXY=http\c//your.proxy.server\c3128:\
* To make the pkg system use HTTP to download packages, you can set
another environment variable:
PACKAGEROOT = http://ftp.freebsd.org
See pkg_add(1) for details.

Matthew
