So what is the correct way to install packages "offline" ?

I have the 20.04.3 system that I need to install packages - it has not
internet.
I have a 20.04.6 system - that already has "net-tools" installed.
How do I issue commands to download the files to the 20.04.6 machines
(again net-tools are already installed) on this system - but I need it
installed on 20.04.3 without breaking 20.04.3 future upgrading.
Again - what is the correct way to manage and add packages like net-tools
to a machine that has no internet and is behind.

Thanks

Jerry
