baseurl
must be a url to the directory where the yum repositoryâs âhead-
ersâ directory lives. Can be an http://, ftp:// or file:// url.
You can specify multiple urls in one baseurl statement. The best
way to do this is like this:
Now with that said I wonder if you could alias ftp to sftp or maybe
use "ln -s" and to create a symbolic link for sftp to use instead of
ftp. You would have to make sure that the symbolic link to sftp was
used instead of standard ftp.
