How can I create a sockified > ftp connection so apt will work? Here's what I did, I used to be behind a windows proxy/firewall. All windows machines had a 'MS proxy client' which would magically route all traffic through the proxy. To get my debian system working I installed a proxy on a windows box (analogx.com's I think...) and then let the windows box proxy http/https/ftp/etc for me to the 'real' proxy. I just used http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment var's setup to the window's box and port, and apt-getted to my hearts content... Later (when I became a more powerfull admin (BOFH) I installed a second proxy (debian with masq + squid etc) alongside the main windows proxy, and yesterday after some network trouble removed the original windows proxy alltogether... Thanx to debian...
