Hello Hermann,

Is there a possibility to update packages with the online-update-feature
of YaST2 via an ftp-proxy?
yes, you can use an ftp-proxy but you can not specify it in the
online-update itself. You have to use a special ftp-proxy such as the
SuSE proxy-suite. After installing the rpm-package there is a file
called /etc/proxy-suite/ftp-proxy.conf.
The first important parameter is:
DestinationAddress <patchserver-fqdn>
The second parameter is:
ServerType
Then you can start the ftp-proxy by using "/etc/init.d/ftp-proxy start"
or add it to your favorite runlevels.
After starting the proxy you can do a simple ftp <yourProxy-fqdn>. The
username and password are directly passed to the server specified at
"DestinationAddress".
But read the documentation carefully
(/usr/share/doc/packages/proxy-suite/ftp/ftp-proxy.pdf). The
Destination-Address is just a default value if there is no other server
specified. If you use the default config-file with only this two
modification all internal client can connect to every ftp-server that
can be accessed by your proxy.
With kind regards
