Module 3 Tasks - WWW Standards FTP

Try uploading your web page (or your draft info bank or learning log) to your student web space in Oasis or your own web space provided by your ISP if you have one using ftp.



Well wasn't this little task a mission! I found the part of uploading the Index file vial ftp easy enough. Below is a screenshot of the ftp program.

Connecting to the web page was another matter altogether. I downloaded the vpn client - no problem. But connecting to the page Web Address: http://student.curtin.edu.au/~13778811 proved altogether impossible for me. I was connected via vpn but it wouldnt work. I checked posts on the discussion board and it seems many people were having problems.

So, the task here was to upload via ftp. I suppose it was a success in that regard but not being able to access it is not a desired result.

Anyway, I did manage to upload the page to the Presentations area of Webct. Below is a successful screenshot of that:
