FTP: file transfer protocol


You are to ftp to recall.curtin.edu.au . You will use anonymous login. When there:Look at the directory structure.Find the file called README Then download the file, look at it and answer the following question "according to the readme file, '_______ MATTERS' - what word goes in the blank?".

According to the readme file CAPITALIZATION MATTERS!

I found that the recomended application for mac called fetch was very easy to use and made ftp fast and effective.

Having stumbled my way through ftp previously I found this task to be extreamly informative, I surfed around for some more helpful information in regards to ftp. I found an article on ftp at http://personalweb.about.com/od/ftpfileuploadprograms/a/01ftp.htm that explains the procedure
in a strait forward manner. In this article Linda Roeder advises to "
set up the folders on your hosting service exactly the same as you set them up on your computer so you will always remember to send your files to the correct folders."
