Re: apt-get update connection problem

apt-get update connection problem
hi all Im new to this however I dont beleive the problem being experienced is due to my newbiehoodism in my sources.list file I have the following entry + deb ftp://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free there are other entries for acouple of mirrors and yes they all work fine - however when apt-get tries to connect to secuirty.debian.org I get the following message Err ftp://security.debian.org stable/updates/* Packages Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' and then at the end of the apt-get update ; apt-get install option I get Failed to fetch ftp://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' Failed to fetch ftp://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/contrib/binary-i386/Packages Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file.

I dont beleive it to be a config problem on my side as I can connect to ftp://security.debian.org via lynx and all other sources in my sources.list dont ahve a problem connecting either. Im running kernel 2.2.20 on Deb 3.0 muchly appreciated --jarrod
