Try adding MASTER_SORT_REGEX?= ^file: ^https?: to make.conf. This tells the ports system to prefer http where availible. If things don't improve then you have ruled-out its being ftp specific. I've never made any specific firewall provision for ftp, and fetch claims to default to active mode. As it works for me I guess it must be honouring the FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES that's in the default environment. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Numerous ftp timeouts - why?
I had this same problem when I was on dial up line. Once I got cable ISP internet connection the problem never happened again. Those ftp sites are busy and dial up connections degrade performance for the other concurrent users logged onto the ftp site and so dial up users get timed out and dropped. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael D.

The client wants to switch to EXTENDED PASSIVE MODE the first time I want to change directories when connecting manually. I end up selecting passive 'off' to change directories without the connection locking up. I tried allowing bi-directional FTP requests through my firewall. Still no joy. Just finishing up building KDE, it's been on and off for three days! Thank You for the reply.
