Hi,

I have the feeling this is in some FAQ, but I don't understand it.

I have a ftp server on which I have the distfiles and I'm using it as
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://user:pass@host/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR+DIST_SUBDIR/}

It usually work ok on make fetch. But sometimes it doesn't, e.g.
fetch ftp://user:pass@host/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/MailScanner-4.25-14.tar.gz
fetch: ftp://user:pass@host/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/MailScanner-4.25-14.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

However the following works:
ftp ftp://user:pass@host/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/MailScanner-4.25-14.tar.gz

Can somebody enlighten me ?
