Installing new commands or packages

[Issa Almaharmeh]

Dear Statalists
I tried to download new Stata commands but I received the following error message. Please if you have any suggestion to install new commands.I'm using Stata13


. ssc install winsor
proxy host not found
http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/w/ either
1) is not a valid URL, or
2) could not be contacted, or
3) is not a Stata download site (has no stata.toc file).
r(660);

2) is the problem. I just tested and I can find a link to SSC, so the site is not down. The winsor files are certainly there.

It may be that you need to tell Stata more about your internet connection. See particularly help netio and settings such as

Turn on or off the use of a proxy server

set httpproxy {on|off} [, init]


Set proxy host name

set httpproxyhost ["]name["]


Set the proxy port number

set httpproxyport #
