martouf 0 Posted August 25, 2004 since you say "additional package" in the thread title, I'll guess you've already got a working Fedora system but are adding a few more packages. yes? [tt][size:3]Package files for install, upgrade and query operations may be specified as an _ftp_ or _http_ style URL: ftp://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/path/to/package.rpm If the :PASSWORD portion is omitted, the password will be prompted for (once per user/hostname pair). If both the user and password are omitted, anonymous ftp is used. In all cases, passive (PASV) ftp transfers are performed. [/color][/tt] example: rpm ftp://hostname.example.com/redhat/i386/packagename.rpm hope this helps. Share this post Link to post
