ftp proxy.

Hello,
I have successfully installed FreeBSD 6.0 commercial boxed
cds in 2 
AMD64 machines. All ports and packages selected and all went
well.
but some other software that is not installed by default,
like Apache, 
I couldn't get ports to install because the this particular
machine
was on an inside network. I need to know how to get ftp to
use an ftp 
proxy (on another machine that has a direct connection).
Since the machine in question is configured to be a server,
I did'nt 
install the Xwindows softwares. So I need to know what to do
with
the command line (default csh for root). The other machine
does have 
Xwindows installed so I can use the configuration apps to
set it.
I'm being a little lazy and not looking at Absolute FreeBSD
nor the 
manual that can be obtained from the same source as the CD
set.
If a fast and simple suggestion isn't fast and simple tell
me to go 
read the books (again). My bio-chemical buffer is getting a
little 
cranky..
and clumsy.
Thanks in advance
JK

I've used the HTTP method to use a proxy for installs with
out much
trouble, and I think FTP proxy is just as easy.  Assuming
that you
want to use the pkg_* tools:

setenv HTTP_PROXY "http://proxy/"
setenv FTP_PROXY "ftp://proxy/"

Also check out the fetch manpage, it has all the info
you'll need.

I have my bsd box behind a proxy and this are my settings on
.cshrc:

setenv  HTTP_PROXY "http://192.168.1.2:3128&
quot;
setenv  HTTP_PROXY_AUTH "basic:myuser:mypa
ssword"

We are using squid + firewall and we have to add the rule
OUT on the
firewall to let me connect to port 5999 check the Firewall
section of
the handbook i think if you have a proxy you a firewall...?

   Greetings!!!
