Use the -X option when defining or updating a connection to a repository. The -X option allows you to specify the SOCKS parameters required, if any, if the connection has to connect through a SOCKS compliant proxy.

The following table lists ways to use the -X option:

-XHhostname	The hostname of the SOCKS server.
-XPport	The port that the SOCKS server uses.
-XUusername	The username required to access the SOCKS server.
