I don't think so. Afaik, libdownload only supports ftp and http. But maybe you could just mount pacman cache (/var/cache/pacman/pkg) with sshfs ? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Howto_Upgrade_via_Home_Network I'm not sure that's what you want though.

Does Pacman have the ability to retrieve packages via the SFTP protocol?

I was planning on adding support in the future, but it does not at the moment.

Thanks for the reply. It would sure be nice to have it. I like the way Pacman has been implemented. I would just like to use it in a network appliance type device that will only have secure protocols enabled.

There's other ways to secure your network transfers, higher level than protocol... I'd suggest a VPN (for a start) or somesuch if it's to be that secure. Regards, //m. -- Mateusz Jędrasik tel. +48(79)022-9393, +48(51)69-444-90 http://imachine.szklo.eu.org
