Help with apt ftp method configuration.
Although I am behind a firewall and must use a proxy server, it could be that
my problem is a miss configured /etc/apt/apt.conf.
Therefor I would like to get from someone who is using apt ftp method his
/etc/apt/apt.conf even if he is not behind a firewall.
My situation is that I am behind a firewall and must use a proxy server. I can
reach the desired ftp site with a browser or with the socks lib:
[22:17:02 /tmp]$ rftp ftp.linux.org.il
Connected to ftp.linux.org.il.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.0pre10 Server (IGLU's FTP server) [iglu.inter.net.il]

Since we can't decide about the "right" order to put things in the tree,
things
may move around in the near future, and we'll put a propper tree here.

Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
[22:38:31 /tmp]$
Yet I can not get there with apt. I am aware to/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/conf
igure-index.gz but it did not help me. Therefor I would like advise on how to
set my /etc/apt/apt.conf. An example file might help as well.
Thank you.
