I do not have an access to this machine right now but I would think I should have the default login class. However, I ran pkg_add -rvK kde and I saw that while logging to the ftp server, the mode was set to Active because at some point I saw a message that I may want to set it to passive (I believe it was response from the FreeBSD FTP server). I'll check when I get home. Anyway, I could not complete the download of qt-3.3.38.tbz if I remember correctly (and I tried many times). Interestingly enough, when I typed wget LINK TO FILE, I downloaded it pretty fast. I then moved the file to /var/tmp but when I ran pkg_add -r kde, it did not seem to notice the file has been downloaded before and stopped again. I am going to try to install kde from an iso CD. Am I right in thinking that installing KDE via ports would take an awful lot of time on a humble PIII 866 512RAM machine? Thanks again!

When I want to revert it, will it suffice to type: export FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=false ? Thank you again!

passive ftp transfer with pkg_add
Hello, I have been trying to install KDE by using pkg_add -r kde but the download is always failing. Reading man pkg_add I see a reference to change the FTP mode to passive if the download constantly fails. However, man does not say which file should be edited to change it. I tried pkgtools.conf but I have not found anything about FTP transfer mode in there. Can you advise which file needs to be edited? Also: "Note: If you wish to use passive mode ftp in such transfers, set the variable FTP_PASSIVE_MODE to some value in your environment." What value should be set for FTP_PASSIVE_MODE? Any value?
