Hi
I want to specify ftp sites for apt from behind my company's proxy, but I can't get it working. Does anyone have experience with "USER no PASS" proxies? The relevant portions of my sources.list and /etc/apt/apt.conf look like the following right now: -------------------- Begin ---------------------------- deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US deb http://debian.midco.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/mirrors/kde stable apps contrib distribution deb http://ftp.netgod.net/ x/ --------------------- End ---------------------------- and -------------------- Begin ---------------------------- ftp { Proxy "ftp://147.113.146.220:21"; /* Required script to perform proxy login. */ ProxyLogin { // "USER $(PROXY_USER)"; // "PASS $(PROXY_PASS)"; // "USER $(SITE_USER)@$(SITE) $(SITE_PORT)"; // "PASS $(SITE_PASS)"; "USER $(SITE_USER)@$(SITE)";// $(SITE_PORT)"; }; Timeout "100"; /* Passive mode control, proxy, non-proxy and per-host. Pasv mode is prefered if possible */ // Passive "true"; // Proxy::Passive "true"; }; --------------------- End ---------------------------- This doesn't work. I have tried all the suggested configutrations in the sample apt.conf. Different ones give me different error messages, but as an example here is the error message from the current configuration: -------------------- Begin ---------------------------- Err ftp://ftp.varesearch.com stable/apps Packages TYPE failed, server said: Please login with USER and PASS. Get:1 ftp://ftp.varesearch.com stable/apps Release Err ftp://ftp.varesearch.com stable/apps Release Unable to fetch file, server said 'Please login with USER and PASS. ' Hit http://debian.midco.net unstable/contrib Release --------------------- End ---------------------------- Our FTP proxy works like the following (note the directions it gives you are not the way it really works). The server can't be too strange because, for example, the Win95 program WS_FTP can be configured to work with the proxy by choosing type "USER with no PASS": -------------------- Begin ---------------------------- wz5000% ftp internet Connected to internet.cmg.fcnbd.com. 220-======= First Chicago NBD FTP proxy server ========= 220- 220-At prompt enter your username and password. 220- 220-After authenticated to the proxy, you can connect to remote 220- 220-server using the following syntax: 220- 220-user [EMAIL PROTECTED] 220- 220 Enter "ctl-D or bye" to exit proxy.
