I just installed OpenBSD and now want to get some packages. I need to go through my proxy server, which I did to install the OS. If I recall the install gave all the info that was needed to make this happen just by selecting ftp install. Now that I need that setup again I can't find it. So can someone tell me how to do this. If it is the same it went something like http_proxy=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx

Thanks.

you need to set a FTP_PROXY

OK, now I set the proxy and enter the following:
pkg_add -v ftp://mirror.sc.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/OpenBSD/3.3/packages/i386/
afterstep-1.8.9.tgz
And I get back:

>>>ftp -o- ftp://mirror.sc.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/OpenBSD/3.3/packages/

When I see 503 service unavailable I think I'm not getting through on my end or the other end? Am I right, there is a lot of stuff here that I don't understand.
forgive me I am coming from Windows!
