new machine trying to install /usr/ports

[Admin]

hi there,

I am trying to get some basic ports tools installed on a new machine.  I 
downloaded the entire ports.tar.gz and then placed all those contents in 
/usr/ports

What are the best next steps to follow to get things up an running?  I 
was hoping to install portsnap but here the error I am receiving.  What 
is wrong?


su-3.2# pkg_add -r portsnap
Error: FTP Unable to get 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-6-stable/Latest/portsnap.tbz: 
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-6-stable/Latest/portsnap.tbz' 
by URL


Cheers,

Noah
