pacman [passive theft]

hi!

is it possible to get pacman working in port mode?
Our server is behind a ISA server, and pacman complains about passive theft.

the port connection does work, so is it possible, if so how?

It will be an option in the next version of pacman.  If you can't wait, you can modify pacsync.c slightly and rebuild it.

Take out these lines from pacsync.c at line ~153:

        if(!FtpOptions(FTPLIB_CONNMODE, FTPLIB_PASSIVE, control)) {
          fprintf(stderr, "warning: failed to set passive moden");
        }
