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
