There's probably a better way but since nobody has responded maybe try ftp $PKG_PATH ftp> ls vim* -r--r--r-- 1 0 0 6253054 Mar 14 2008 vim-7.1.244p0-gtk2.tgz -r--r--r-- 1 0 0 6168107 Mar 11 2008 vim-7.1.244p0-no_x11.tgz -r--r--r-- 1 0 0 1216459 Mar 14 2008 vim-lang-7.1.244-gtk2.tgz ftp> get vim-7.1.244p0-no_x11.tgz " | pkg_info - " -B
