[Fink-devel] FTP question

[Bill Bumgarner]

I'm behind a NAT'ing non-proxying firewall and I could not update jikes because the download failed. Specifically, this...

curl -f -L -s -S -O ftp://www-126.ibm.com/pub/jikes/1.18/jikes-1.18.tar.bz2

... failed.

I modified NetAccess.pm such that the above became....

curl -P - -f -L -s -S -O ftp://www-126.ibm.com/pub/jikes/1.18/jikes-1.18.tar.bz2

... and now it works fine. I see that NOT setting 'ProxyPassiveFTP' should do the same, but it appears not.

Actually, I just did a 'fink configure' and answered....

Use passive mode FTP transfers (to get through a firewall)? [Y/n]

... 'n' to this question and it fixed the problem. That seems counter-intuitive.
