BSD ports behind a unfriendly firewall
My OBSD box at works sits behind a firewall that I have no control over.
They provide us with gateways for telnet and ftp.
To grab a copy of the latest ISO I would have to do the following
ftp gateway.myisp.com.au
I would be prompted with a
login:
where I would type
anonymous@ftp.aarnet.edu.au
after this I can use all the normal ftp commands to get around the site and
download anything I want.
Because ftp,web and telnet are the only tcp ports allowed outgoing.. Is
their anyway ..the I can get BSD's software ports to work ?
My apologies if this has been sent to the wrong list.
kind regards
Hamish
