dpkg, apt, ftp

Hi

I want to install slink on my personal machine.

I  want to use dselect with apt and ftp access;
however, our line to the outside is small and loaded. 
There is a very recent (1 or 2 days old) mirror of 
slink on a local server that is available only using 
ftp, but _not_ anonymous ftp. 

Would some kind soul tell me how to specify an ftp login 
and password when using dselect, apt-ftp access -- so I 
can use this access method with my local archive.

I will gladly supply information reqested about the machine.
