#1 ftp: illegal option -- e

[Anonymous]

Getting the following error when using pkg_info:

$pkg_info blackbox
ftp: illegal option -- e
usage: ftp [-dginptv] [-T timeout] [hostname [port]]

I'm using the default ftp client that's installed with
Solaris 9i, is there a different one required?

you have to use ftp located in /usr/pkg/bin instead of sun's

There is a ftp that comes with Solarpack. If you update your path so /usr/pkg/bin is before /usr/bin. It should work.
PATH=/usr/pkg/bin/:$PATH;export PATH
