| 18 | .TH ftp.conf 5 "16 June 1998" "Debian GNU/Linux"\r | |
| 19 | .SH NAME\r | |
| 20 | ftp.conf \- configuration file for APT FTP method\r | |
| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION\r | |
| 22 | The ftp.conf file determines the behavior of the FTP method for the APT\r | |
| 23 | packaging tool. The syntax of the file is\r | |
| 24 | .IR variable = value .\r | |
| 25 | Quotes are not required around\r | |
| 26 | .IR value s.\r | |
| 27 | Comments start with a '#' and end at the next newline. Blank lines are \r | |
| 28 | ignored. The following\r | |
| 29 | .I variables\r | |
| 30 | are understood: \r | |
| 31 | .IP Firewall\r | |
| 32 | is the hostname of a machine which acts as an FTP firewall. This can be \r | |
| 33 | overridden by an environment variable \r | |
| 34 | .IR FTP_FIREWALL .\r | |
| 35 | If specified, and the given hostname cannot be directly contacted, a connection\r | |
| 36 | is made to the firewall machine and the string\r | |
| 37 | .B @hostname\r | |
| 38 | is appended to the login identifier. This type of setup is also known as an\r | |
| 39 | FTP proxy.\r | |
| 40 | .IP ProxyLogName\r | |
| 41 | is a parameter used by some firewall FTP proxies. It is used to authorize\r | |
| 42 | the user specified by\r | |
| 43 | .I ProxyLogName\r | |
| 44 | to send data beyond the\r | |
| 45 | .I Firewall\r | |
| 46 | machine.\r | |
| 47 | .IP ProxyPassword\r | |
| 48 | is the password used to authenticate\r | |
| 49 | .I ProxyLogName\r | |
| 50 | on the\r | |
| 51 | .I Firewall\r | |
| 52 | machine.\r | |
| 53 | .IP TimeOut\r | |
| 54 | sets a timeout value in seconds (the default is sixty seconds).\r | |
| 55 | .IP Passive\r | |
| 56 | is either\r | |
| 57 | .B true\r | |
| 58 | or\r | |
| 59 | .BR false .\r | |
| 60 | If true, then all data transfers will be done using passive mode. This is\r | |
| 61 | required for some dumb FTP servers and firewall configurations. It can\r | |
| 62 | also be overridden by the environment variable\r | |
| 63 | .IR FTP_PASSIVE .\r | |
| 64 | .IP Verbose\r | |
| 65 | is either\r | |
| 66 | .B true\r | |
| 67 | or\r | |
| 68 | .B false,\r | |
| 69 | and makes the FTP method output more data than it normally does.\r | |
| 70 | .IP Debug\r | |
| 71 | is either\r | |
| 72 | .B true\r | |
| 73 | or\r | |
| 74 | .B false,\r | |
| 75 | and makes the FTP method output debugging information. This variable is \r | |
| 76 | not currently implemented. \r | |
| 77 | .IP MaxReTry\r | |
| 78 | sets the number of times a connection is re-tried before giving up (the\r | |
| 79 | default is twice).\r | |
