Task 1: FTP

I found this task great because I often send photos in to photo labs to get prints, but they also offer an FTP, but not knowing how to use this I have usually dismissed this tool. After this exercise I will definitely use this option to get photos printed.

I used FileZilla for this exercise, but I later found out that the Mozilla Firefox browser has an FTP Client addon called FireFTP (I will try this later to see if I like it better). After connecting to curtin I found the file and read the answer as CAPITALIZATION MATTERS.
------
After trying FireFTP I found it much easier to work with. There was a greater work space, and a clear 'find tool' to search your computer directory. Finding the 'Readme' file again was much easier this time being located at /Anonymous/MSC/readme.txt. I'll remember to use FireFTP next time I'm using FTP.
------
This was quite a fun excerise and I hope there are more FTP experiences to come.
