Attachment #10746 for bug #21451




   FTP      Get the distribution files from an anonymous ftp server
            (you will be presented with a list).  Please note that
            there are also three ways of invoking FTP in either
            "Active" and "Passive" mode or via an HTTP proxy.

            Active mode is the standard way of fetching files and
            Passive mode is for use when you're behind a firewall or
            some other security mechanism that blocks active FTP
            connections.  Using an HTTP proxy is sometimes necessary
            for firewalls which block all FTP connections.

            If you chose "other" in the FTP menu, please also note
            that all paths are *relative* to the home directory of
            the user being logged in as.  By default, this is the
            user "ftp" (anonymous ftp) but you may change this in
            the Options screen.
