Alternatively you can run make rmconfig to remove your saved options so you will be asked again next time you run make. The options are saved in /var/db/ports/${PORTNAME}/options Although you could edit that file manually there is no point to it and you could make errors. I must say that when I tried curlftpfs is was not very stable but perhaps you have better luck.

Mounting an FTP space ?
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 space as a drive on the desktop.

Can I obtain the same sort of functionality using freeBSD and xfce desktop manager? The built in file manager Thunar doesn't seem to have this functionality (though I stand ready to be corrected if I'm wrong, I tested casually and scanned the manpage), but there are 125 programs in /usr/ports/ftp, and one of them should work. And, just to show that I'm not being overtly cynical here, here's a short list of those programs that seem to be graphical and client-side in nature; perhaps one of them will suit you, or others could comment on their use. Terminals and ftp(1) for me ;-) Note that a] I've probably missed some; b] Those that start with K are probably for KDE and might not be something you want to get into (lots of dependencies you may not want) c] possibly ditto with gftp--Gnome, and some others may be rather heavy iglooftp wxftp filezilla ftpcube gFTP JFTP Kasablanca Kbear KFTPGRabber llnlxdir multiget waiho wmget wxdfast Xrmftp Kevin Kinsey -- Early to bed and early to rise and you'll be groggy when everyone else is wide awake. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have previously used KDE as the desktop manager and it included graphical tools which managed this job.
