FTP is is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the Internet.
FTP can be used to easily upload web pages and information to these web pages.
Some positives of FTP are that you can upload information onto a public server instantaneously. You could use this as a public and easily assessable CV. Files can be uploaded straight onto the Internet. You can format colours, size and fonts in word and thenupload without the hassle of coding these in.
Some negatives and risk associated with FTP are; Bounce Attacks, Spoof Attacks, Brute Force Attacks, Sniffing, Username Protection, & Port Stealing. These problems can be minimized by employing encryption tools.
Other information i learnt in class today is that anything you out on your Athene account is going to be publicly assessable too the whole world and that we get 20mg worth of space and that the links are case sensitive. I feel educated on Athene and FTP now and am ready to start creating.
