This will be an extremely steep learning curve as I navigate around this totally unfamiliar site.
Where is the "delete/back pedal" button ? And the "find how to do it" button?
1st lesson: lots of introductions to teacher, class members, some translations of computer codespeak into long hand English language and of course html tags and how to write a basic html page.
(also learnt: how you should not write on a computer board upscreen with white board markers!!!)
2nd lesson: extension of html coding, linking web pages and installing images, intro to uploading pages to web server.
homework Q: What is the difference between PASSIVE & ACTIVE re: ftp site managing?
Being as Brief as possible:
Passive means the client initiates both connections with server, hence the server remains passive.
Active: Client initiates connection on servers command port and server initiates connection from its data port.
Not sure yet what are the pros & cons or applications. I'm hoping Peter can elaborate in a simple manner......
