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

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

Can anyone shed any light on this ... 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
