In the man pages for sources.list, they talk about "the rsh/ssh method" which seems to imply that something like
deb ssh://ssh-server.leeds.ac.uk:/fink stable main crypto
should be possible. I think this is a long-standing lie in these man pages, and it never worked. It actually says there also:
"The currently recognized URI types are cdrom, file, http, and ftp."
This is more accurate. So if you don't have access to your server via http or ftp at all, you are out of luck.
Thank you, Martin, this is exactly what I was asking. It seemed from the various man pages that it should be possible to configure sources.list so that a command something like
rsync -av --rsh=ssh host::fink/path local/path
would be issued by fink (the :: meaning that rsync would start in server mode on host). But your Web tunneling method should work for me and is only a little bit more hassle to set up (I tunnel VNC successfully through ssh).
thanks again, -- Viv
