A little background information on Anonymous FTP from http://www.cs.jcu.edu.au/CIE/Topics/104.htm
“Anonymous FTP extends this idea by allowing users without accounts to use FTP for retrieving “public” data. To do this, a user connects to an anonymous FTP server with a normal FTP client, offering anonymous as a userid and sending an identifying string, typically an email address, as password. Servers configured for anonymous FTP will accept almost anything as password, so this information is really based on an honor code. Once connected in this manner, the user can examine the server’s file repository and download anything of interest using FTP’s standard capabilities. Anonymous FTP servers typically implement various security measures to prevent anonymous users from access anything but an area designated for public information.“
First, needed to download FTP client - FileZilla. FTP to recall.curtin.edu.au using anonymous login. The directory structure is in the ‘tree folder’. Searched the file called README by opening each folder and scroll down to look for it. Found under the folders’ name “MSC”. Had to right click on the filename to view/edit the file. As it was a text file, found it a bit difficult to read and had to scroll from left to right.
I have used Telnet at work so the telnet task is quite ordinary experience. But telnetting to another DNS is quite a different experience entirely. A bit worried tapping into another domain…am I allowed to do this..security is not very good, isn’t it?..where is the firewall?….
Task A: Once connected to the Deakin Library, searching the author “Bennahum” via Options menu and print the title to my curtin email address was a ‘breeze’. I tried some of the other functions to see what they can do. Checked my curtin email address and viola! message “Email from DEAKIN UNI LIB” received.
Task B: Telnetting to towel.blinkenlights.nl – I thought I would see some blinking lights instead a fantastic silent movie of Star Wars. Remarkable display.Note: you cannot copy and paste into the command prompt screen! Never be able to telnet from work at all! So what do I think about Telnet now? It is amazing that we have come so far into technology, telnet is still striving. As I mentioned earlier, at work, my colleague and I used to run an Impromptu report on historical data of a particular job. We found that it took a very very long time to get the report displayed on the screen and stopped us working with other applications. Switched to telnet and ran the report by answering a few prompts, and in seconds, the report is generated into a .csv file. I do not think that telnet will ever phased out!
Better check the settings and see if I can have my first name displayed somewhere on the screen so that I wil not be addressed as “Hi cool_curtin09,..” .
What a hectic late evening after attended one of my daughters’s extra curriculum activities’ meeting. Did not go to bed until 11.00 p.m. EST. Had problem trying to get out of bed this morning to go to work. But I made it, here at work, posting another blog, read discussion boards, add more blogroll onto here
http://net11learninglog.blog.com(i know, a boring one).Found another problem that IE 7 and IE 8 do not support feeds with DTS of which blog.com uses. Sent an email to the blog.com support for solution.
Secondly, when you are ready to create your own blog, select which tool you are going to use. Check out all the free blogging systems. For example, Blogger.com (or BlogSpot) ; wordpress ; LiveJournal ; blog.com .
Thirdly, once you have chosen the right tool, customise the theme of your blog website.
Fourthly, put on thinking cap to write your own blog. For example, what is the topic, what type of readers that the blog will attract, what tags should the blog be identified with. In this instance, I have a blog because of my studies with Curtin.
Finally, do not forget about ‘bloggiquette’. Rebecca Blood has written about the ethics of blogging in her “The Weblog Handbook“
