File Transfer Protocol
Like Telnet, I have never used FTP before, but at least I am familiar with the term (being used as a verb).
I ventured to http://filezilla-project.org and downloaded the FileZilla client. This process was easier than the Telnet task for me. I did guess where to enter ‘recall.curtin.edu.au’ and logged in anonymously but it worked first go.
The answer to the burning question... according to the read me file, "CAPITALIZATION MATTERS!".
From reading Concepts 24 (Client-sever two way interactions) I especially like the idea that FTP enables an individual to publish information that can be taken, on demand [or ‘pulled’ ] by the user, rather than information being pushed at the user. Info push/pull are concepts I am familiar with from social media, so it’s gratifying to be able to see another connection.
