Module 1: FTP

Module1: FTP task.
  • Explore and familiarize yourself with an FTP client.
  • login anonymously to recall.curtin.edu.au
  • find the README file
  • answer the question '_______ MATTERS'
Once again easy but 2 newbie problems.
  1. spell the name of your school correctly, it does not hang in front of windows and block out the view.
  2. firewall (again). The firewall popup was under a bunch of other windows. If I hadn't seen it in the taskbar I would have been tearing my hair out wondering why I couldn't connect.

Connection is made via Filezilla



Found file in the root directory



Downloaded and opened file. The answer of course is that, CAPITALIZATION MATTERS!
Which was ironic as the file we were asked to search for was README.TXT not readme.txt, so maybe capitalization doesn't't matter that much :p

ps: purchased a new monitor today to hook up to my laptop. dual screen for uni work is the only way to go!
