This is untested, but if you change your sources.list to include something like: # /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://localhost:1080/debian/ stable main contrib non-free and then open a tunnel: # from the command line ssh -fND 1080 machine_A it should just work. If not, you can try something more complicated, like: # /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://localhost:32315/debian/ stable main contrib non-free # from the command line ssh -fN -L32315:localhost:32315 machineA 'ssh -fN -L32315:ftp.us.debian.org:80' There's probably a better way to do this, but you asked specifically about ssh tunneling.
