I think I can see the problem. Please check "man ftp" for the correct name of the environment variables. Unlike typical for many other programs, those for ftp are written in lower case: ftp_proxy URL of FTP proxy to use when making FTP URL requests (if not defined, use the standard FTP protocol). See http_proxy for further notes about proxy use. http_proxy URL of HTTP proxy to use when making HTTP URL requests. If proxy authentication is required and there is a user- name and password in this URL, they will automatically be used in the first attempt to authenticate to the proxy. If ``unsafe'' URL characters are required in the username or password (for example `@' or `/'), encode them with RFC 1738 `%XX' encoding. Note that the use of a username and password in ftp_proxy and http_proxy may be incompatible with other programs that use it (such as lynx(1)). NOTE: this is not used for interactive sessions, only for command-line fetches. You can also interactively set those (again, see "man ftp" for more details). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
