FTP (FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL)

Task#3 FTP

In this task, we were asked to download an FTP client for our computers. I chose Filezilla, as did the majority of the class. After downloading the client, we were asked to FTP to recall.curtin.edu.au.

Upon opening the client, the screen above is what appeared

Next, I typed in the address and logged in as an anonymous user, which then allowed me access to folders and files, as shown above. Our objective was to find the README file and answer the following question:-

"according to the readme file, '_______ MATTERS' - what word goes in the blank?".

Opening the readme file, the answer to the question is:-

"CAPITALIZATION MATTERS"

I found this task rather straight forward, nothing too overwhelming. I did come across a small issue, which I posted help for on the discussion board. I managed to resolve the issues, it turned out that using quick connect could only be done once so i added the site to my server list and was able to acces it after I had done that. Also after reading, i found out that filezilla is sometimes disabled by firewalls, so I also checked the settings in there, and added Filezilla as an exception. From there, it was all smooth sailing. Now on to tracerouting.
