Do you have control of the firewall? Kent If you cannot get the admin of the firewall to open up port 5999 how about port 21 for ssh. It seems that most people have that open anyway so it may not be much of an issue. Here's where I am going. 1) You need to get shell access on a remote machine outside the firewall. This shouldn't be too hard, either your machine at home, a friends machine or one of those many that are offering free shell access. We'll call it friendly.example.com 2) From your FreeBSD machine behind the firewall you would open up a tunnel between yourself and the friendly machine on port 5999 for cvsup. $ ssh -L 5999:cvsupmirror.freebsd.org:5999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] replace cvsupmirros.freebsd.org with an actual one from the list of mirrors. loginid is your login name on the remote machine. 3) From another command prompt you run cvsup while pointing to your localhost as the cvsup server. # cvsup -g -L2 -h localhost /path/to/cvsupfile Cheers and good luck, Luke ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ftp/fetch/cvsup behind a firewall
I'm trying to get this to work with a non-Linux firewall. Mozilla can access the ftp site with the proxy server configured, but I haven't been able to get ftp to work with a proxy server.

Re: ftp/fetch/cvsup behind a firewall
Thanks for the quick response! I assume that adding these lines to the make.conf is the same as setting them as environment variables? If I do this, I get: # set HTTP_PROXY=http://foo:80 (where foo is my proxy server; the same address makes mozilla work) # fetch http://ftp.freebsd.org/file (where file is a valid file) fetch: http://ftp.freebsd.org/file: Host not found Original Message Follows From: Khairil Yusof [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Anthony Discolo [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ftp/fetch/cvsup behind a firewall Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 03:23:32 +0800 On Mon, 2004-02-02 at 11:12 -0800, Anthony Discolo wrote: I don't have a /usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/make.conf, but I have a /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.
