I'd like to upgrade using the ftp access method of dpkg/apt, etc. I am on the other side of a firewall but there is a socks proxy to get through it. On other systems on this side of the firewall, I can use the r commands, rcp, rftp, rsh etc. but I haven't seen them for Linux. I did a google search on socks, ftp, proxy, debian, and it turned up loads of references to configuring a Debian box to be a firewall, but I didn't see any references to my situation.
Can anyone help? Thanks, Jim.
