Net11 SP2 2009

The next task in module # 1 is FTP

"What to do;

First you need an FTP client for your computer. The two we recommend are FileZilla (for Windows - free) and Fetch (for Macs - free). Download and install and then explore one for your system
PC: FileZilla FileZilla Download pageMac: Fetch Fetch Download page
For help, make sure you check out the the help files for either program and consult the programs website. For general help on what ftp is you can take a look at aQuick Introduction to FTP its a great general intro to ftp and would be useful for both mac and pc users alike
Next: 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?". "(allen, m n.d)

I've used FTP both in my previous job and a volunteer position, so this task was not taxing at all. After downloading the file, I first of all noticed that it is very differnt in looks to WS_FTP, it didn't take me long to gather my bearings, locate & downloading the file named README


My answer is CAPITALIZATION

Module 1
Task # 1: Telnet

My copy came as part of my operating system (Vista Home premium). To access it I typed 'telnet''into the search area within the ''start'' button on my laptop. Once the window opened I typed "open library.deakin.edu.au''. Connection was a very quick 2 seconds. My stumble block this far was the next screen after connecting to the library at Deakin, it asked what kind of terminal I was using: VT100 or NCSA VT100 and to select one. After a google and visit to wikipedia I decided that VT100 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vt100-adventure.jpg was not what I was using and selected the NCSA VT100. The rest was quick and hassle free, and I found it very interesting. I had heard of, but never used Telnet before.

The bit of fun at the end was impressive, however had I been a star wars fan I would have been blown away. The pictures reminded me of typing class back in the 80's, made by using keys such as 'x', O' & spaces. Technology and graphics have sure come along way.

I've been hanging out all week for Blackboard to be updated with my courses. I'm so eager to start, I'm so eager to excell. I logged on this afternoon to find that NET11 details are there and that was it, I hit the ground running.

So this was my first task, to start a blog that will track my learning for net11. Done.

Here is my first task:
"In your learning log, record your first entry considering the topic "top five tips for new bloggers" - what are your top 5 tips? "(Allen, M n.d)

1. Decide on your content & audience - Mine will be as a learning log as part of my NET11 uni studies
2. Choose the format in which you want to present it - I chose blogger as I was familiar with it
3. Keep personal details out of it - remembering the web is a big place
4. Keep the blog updated regularly - atleast once a week in this case
5. Browse other blogs with similar content - it's great for inspiration & attracting readers
