With Packaging Utility, you can create repositories, copy packages, and delete packages.
These capabilities depend on the type of server you are using to manage packages. Consult the

Note: You cannot create repositories directly on FTP, HTTP,
or HTTPS servers. If you are using an FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server,
you must use Packaging Utility to create a repository in a local directory
first. Then copy the repository onto the FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server.
If you are using a local or intranet server, you can create repositories
directly in those locations.
