Good afternoon,
I have a system that does not have http access, due to firewall restrictions. I do, however, have ftp access. I apparently am able to update aptitude with no problem, but I can never get security updates. I always get an error about not being able to open the file: Err ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates/main i386 Packages Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 130.89.149.226 21] W: Failed to fetch ftp://security.debian.org/dists/squeeze/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 130.89.149.226 21] The contents of /etc/apt/sources.list is fairly simple: deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main deb ftp://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main And I have a proxy defined for anonymous access (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy): Acquire::ftp { Proxy "ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian:21"; ProxyLogin { "USER anonymous"; "PASS user@co.brazos.tx.us"; } } As far as I can tell, I am downloading the main updates and logging into security.debian.org properly, but I am not receiving the security updates. Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how to get all updates using strictly ftp? Thanks, Nelson Complete output of sudo apt-get update: Hit ftp://ftp.debian.org squeeze Release.gpg Get:1 ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-en Get:2 ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release.gpg Ign ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-en Ign ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release.gpg Get:3 ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-en_US Get:4 ftp://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main Translation-en Ign ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-en_US Ign ftp://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main Translation-en Hit ftp://ftp.debian.org squeeze Release Get:5 ftp://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main Translation-en_US Ign ftp://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main Translation-en_US Hit ftp://ftp.debian.org squeeze/main i386 Packages Get:6 ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release Ign ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release Get:7 ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates/main i386 Packages Ign ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates/main i386 Packages Get:8 ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates/main i386 Packages Err ftp://security.debian.org squeeze/updates/main i386 Packages Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file.
