tlug: Making "command line" ftp through a proxy/firewall

[Martos-Riano <martos@example.com>]

Hello,

My office computer with Win95 can perform web, ftp, etc... from Netscape through
a proxy server

>From my linux partition, I cannot make a ftp ftp.debian.org. The answer from a
colleague is "You need an authorization for a command line ftp outside". (That's
too funny, not only it takes one month to receive an authorization, but I doubt
I receive any.)

But I am sure the Linux community has found a solution to this. If there is no
solution, I guess upgrading packages in the debian distribution would consist in

1) downloading them in DOS
2) install them from Linux

But I would like to learn a proper method. Please teach me how!

Thanks.
