Yes. I don't know what arguments to pass to it. Where are the current
arguments being stored, surely I can edit that file?
If you run make config it pops up the dialog where you can choose
your options. Alternatively you can run make rmconfig to remove your
saved options so you will be asked again next time you run make.
The options are saved in /var/db/ports/${PORTNAME}/options
Although you could edit that file manually there is no point to it and
you could make errors.
I must say that when I tried curlftpfs is was not very stable but
perhaps you have better luck.

Jona

The built in file manager Thunar doesn't seem to have this functionality (though I stand ready to be corrected if I'm wrong, I tested casually and scanned the manpage), but there are 125 programs in /usr/ports/ftp, and one of them should work. And, just to show that I'm not being overtly cynical here, here's a short list of those programs that seem to be graphical and client-side in nature; perhaps one of them will suit you, or others could comment on their use. Terminals and ftp(1) for me ;-) Note that a] I've probably missed some; b] Those that start with K are probably for KDE and might not be something you want to get into (lots of dependencies you may not want) c] possibly ditto with gftp--Gnome, and some others may be rather heavy iglooftp wxftp filezilla ftpcube gFTP JFTP Kasablanca Kbear KFTPGRabber llnlxdir multiget waiho wmget wxdfast Xrmftp Kevin Kinsey -- Early to bed and early to rise and you'll be groggy when everyone else is wide awake. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
