File Transfer Protocol

File Transfer Protocol

For homework this week, you were asked to set up a hosting account with zymic. Zymic uses FTP (file transfer protocol) to transfer files from your local computer to your Zymic hosting account.

Filezilla is the open source FTP software that we will be using. For more information on Filezilla, click on the Filezilla logo. If you want to see what other open source software is available for download, the Source Forge website is a very good reference.

In this weeks class you are learning to include and manipulate images that we have provided to you. When using images from the Internet you should be aware of who owns the images and if you are allowed under copyright laws to re-use or alter them. Creative Commons provides a way for people to share their work, be it an image, music, book or video through a creative commons licence. Try searching for images using Google that have a creative commons licence. (This is done in the advanced search options in Google's image search).
