URI SPECIFICATION
       The currently recognized URI types are cdrom, file, http, and ftp.

       file   The file scheme allows an arbitrary directory in the file system
              to  be  considered an archive. This is useful for NFS mounts and
              local mirrors or archives.

       cdrom  The cdrom scheme allows APT to use  a  local  CDROM  drive  with
              media  swapping.  Use  the  apt-cdrom(8) program to create cdrom
              entries in the source list.

       http   The http scheme specifies an HTTP server for the archive. If  an
              environment   variable   http_proxy   is  set  with  the  format
              http://server:port/, the proxy server  specified  in  http_proxy
              will  be used. Users of authenticated HTTP/1.1 proxies may use a
              string of the  format  http://user:pass@server:port/  Note  that
              this is an insecure method of authentication.

       ftp    The  ftp  scheme  specifies an FTP server for the archive. APT's
              FTP behavior is highly configurable; for  more  information  see
              the apt.conf(5) manual page. Please note that a ftp proxy can be
              specified by using the ftp_proxy  environment  variable.  It  is
              possible  to  specify  a  http  proxy  (http proxy servers often
              understand ftp urls) using this method and ONLY this method. ftp
              proxies  using  http specified in the configuration file will be
              ignored.

       copy   The copy scheme is identical to  the  file  scheme  except  that
              packages  are  copied  into  the cache directory instead of used
              directly at their location.  This is useful for people  using  a
              zip disk to copy files around with APT.

       rsh

       ssh    The rsh/ssh method method invokes rsh/ssh to connect to a remote
              host as a given user and access the files. No password authenti-
              cation  is  possible, prior arrangements with RSA keys or rhosts
              must have been made.  Access to files on the remote  uses  stan-
              dard find and dd commands to perform the file transfers from the
              remote.
