Telnet
Got through the Telnet task pretty well. I have an understanding of what it is used for (accessing remote computers, gathering information from those computers) and managed to track down the details regarding the name of the book (Managed Care: financial, legal and ethical issues) required for the self test. The picture below demonstrates the Telnet client in action.
I came across a website which provided a bit more information on Telnet's and some Telnet sites to log into. telnet.org
FTP
I have played with FTP's before to some extent and grasp the concept of them well. These days they are generally used to upload/maintain websites, however they are used by anyone wishing to transfer files between computers.
I downloaded an FTP client from FTPPlanet, and was able to locate the required file to answer the self test. Unfortunately i do not have the FTP settings from my ISP, so i am not sure whether i can still set up my FTP, so i can access my files at work etc. If anyone has any ideas that will be great.
I have included a snapshot of my FTP task below:
There were may sites available for assistance with setting up an FTP, as well as many FTP server programs. I will try and establish a complete operating FTP, as this is something i have wanted to do for some time.
