Impossible to reach the url packages

[stc]

Hello, I'm a newbie with FreeBSD, I have installed it (9.1 release) on an old PC. I have a problem with pkg_add, I tried two URLs with no success: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pubs/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.1-release/Latest/ and ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pubs/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.1-stable/Latest/ with no success.

I'd like to know a correct URL, I also want to know where to declare the PACKAGESITE variable in order not to redeclare it each time.

Thanks a lot.

Finally I traced whe path of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ and I found this available path :

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pubs/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pubs/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/

It's still incorrect: change pubs into pub.

In order to have the PACKAGESITE environment variable set, put the following in /root/.cshrc:

setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/

If at all possible, instead of using the main FTP site, use a mirror near you.

Ok, thanks a lot.
