Did you mean (and actually type) 'portsnap fetch'?

No need to specify the port in your case; 3128 is default for HTTP_PROXY.  
Does your proxy server require authentication?  If so, you need to specify 
authorization parameters as outlined in man fetch(3).

BTW, although FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is enabled by setting it to anything other 
than 'no', you probably want to set it to something logical like "YES" 
instead of just re-listing the proxy URL. :-)
