Fetch frequently fails for me when installing ports via "pkg_add" or directly
from the ports tree. Regardless of the port I'm trying to add, it almost always
returns the following...
Using 'pkg_add':
--BEGIN SNIP--
root@SS002:~ 160:0# pkg_add -r xpdf
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/xpdf.tbz:
Syntax error in parameters or arguments
pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/xpdf.tbz'
by URL
--END SNIP--
This is probably better-suited to the freebsd-questions@ list, but I'll
take a quick stab at it. Could it be that you're behind a firewall or
FTP proxy that doesn't support active FTP transfers? You mentioned you
tried several of the knobs for fetch, but did you try the same fetch
with the -p flag?
fetch -p
