ftp/curl is where you're having issues, right?

do a make config there first.


Thanks Chris, that did the trick.

Oh. I'll look into that.
From /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-curlftpfs/ I typed make config and it said that it wanted me to pass options to it.

Yes. I don't know what arguments to pass to it. Where are the current arguments being stored, surely I can edit that file?

On my Mac from the Finder I can select "Connect to server", give it the details of an ftp location and it will connect and display the ftp

Can I obtain the same sort of functionality using freeBSD and xfce

I haven't used it, but the sysutils/fusefs-curlftpfs should allow you to mount an ftp location as a virtual filesystem. The desktop icon thing you'll have to work out on your own, but it shouldn't be too difficult (a shortcut to
your chosen mountpoint should suffice).
I've just made an error during installation. At the dialog I selected BOTH c-ares and IPV6.
That caused an error:
curl-7.16.0_1 does not support both c-ares and IPv6 - disable one of them. OK. I thought I'd simply run "make install clean" again and at the dialog I would make my selection. However, I do not get to the dialog. My choices have been saved somewhere and are being re-used. I need to clean up from my first effort. What do I need to do to wipe the slate clean?
