The syntax of the file is +.IR variable = value . +Quotes are not required around +.IR value s. +Comments start with a '#' and end at the next newline. Blank lines are +ignored. The following +.I variables +are understood: +.IP Firewall +is the hostname of a machine which acts as an FTP firewall. This can be +overridden by an environment variable +.IR FTP_FIREWALL . +If specified, and the given hostname cannot be directly contacted, a connection +is made to the firewall machine and the string +.B @hostname +is appended to the login identifier. This type of setup is also known as an +FTP proxy. +.IP ProxyLogName +is a parameter used by some firewall FTP proxies. It is used to authorize +the user specified by +.I ProxyLogName +to send data beyond the +.I Firewall +machine. +.IP ProxyPassword +is the password used to authenticate +.I ProxyLogName +on the +.I Firewall +machine. +.IP TimeOut +sets a timeout value in seconds (the default is sixty seconds). +.IP Passive +is either +.B true +or +.BR false . +If true, then all data transfers will be done using passive mode. This is +required for some dumb FTP servers and firewall configurations. It can +also be overridden by the environment variable +.IR FTP_PASSIVE . +.IP Verbose +is either +.B true +or +.B false, +and makes the FTP method output more data than it normally does. +.IP Debug +is either +.B true +or +.B false, +and makes the FTP method output debugging information. This variable is +not currently implemented. +.IP MaxReTry +sets the number of times a connection is re-tried before giving up (the +default is twice). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR apt (8), +.BR apt-get (8) +.SH BUGS +See . If you wish to report a +bug in +.BR apt-get , +please see +.I /usr/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt +or the +.BR bug (1) +command. +.SH AUTHOR +APT was written by the APT team . -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
