Subject: firewall and ports
hi,
I sit behind a tough firewall, and none of the ports in port collection
is able to fetch files need for install.
How could I overcome the firewall?
This belongs more on -questions than it does on -hackers. Also, you don't
give any specifics on what your firewall does and does not allow you to
do.
You may be able to fetch through your firewall by enabling passive mode.
To do so, set the environment variable FTP_PASSIVE_MODE to anything but
no. fetch(1) also has a -p flag that does the same thing.
See the manpages for fetch(1) and fetch(3) for other options, including
using an ftp and/or an http proxy.
