You could try:

Re: How to update debian using server instead of discs
I'm sorry I just can't get it to work, can someone please give me an example because I followed the example on the wiki and after copying and pasting the example it just doesn't work, I need to know what to paste into the source list
Re: How to update debian using server instead of discs
Can someone paste a valid working source list code so I can paste it overwriting mine that will make this work for me please
Re: How to update debian using server instead of discs
Then you're doing it wrong.
Because anyone posting a working sources.list would give you the exact same thing as the Wiki. So it "wouldn't work" either.
P.S. "It doesn't work" isn't diagnostically useful. Post exact error output.

Re: How to update debian using server instead of discs
The installer didn't enable the servers because it couldn't establish a connection to them during the install. Can you use the Net in Debian now? That's the first question to answer.
Then the correct addresses are in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, just commented out with the "#" at the start of the line. You edit the file to remove those, and comment out or remove the disc entries.
As for more about sources.list, I will "lead the horse to water" and suggest the Debian wiki, as the "before you post anything on this forum" instructions here state. You'll will have to do the drinking yourself.

The terminal says
E: type 'deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: the list of sources could not be read.
My list says
Deb HTTP://FTP.us.debian.org/debian/ Jessie main

Hmm. Forgot. This OP is a troll who's pulled this kind of thing before. Apparently he gets kicks out of wasting other people's time.
Unless you believe that we need another totally pointless 4-page thread...

if you don't like me, leave me alone,
if you find my thread(s) (trolling) then why waste your time posting In Them?!?!
I am not the one who is (trolling), if I was I would be cursing you out right now instead of respectfully explaining to you how what you are doing is offensive,
Please think about what I said and remember that all people have feelings and deserve to be respected.

I guess you cannot update Debian then.
