-.TH ftp.conf 5 "16 June 1998" "Debian GNU/Linux"
-.SH NAME
-ftp.conf \- configuration file for APT FTP method
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The ftp.conf file determines the behavior of the FTP method for the APT
-packaging tool. 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).
