CAPITALIZATION MATTERS!

Module 1, FTP task. My FTP experience was a little on the odd side.

I couldn't access the server using my FTP client (possibly a firewall issue but giving that FTP client 'access all areas' in the permissions didn't make a different. Ah... would the ol' restart have fixed that trick?)

However, I hit up the FTP site using Firefox. Volia, information at my fingertips in a matter of seconds. I knew there was a reason I preferred Firefox.

A while later...
SUCCESS! I changed FTP clients, ensured firewall clearance, restart of system and volia - it all worked perfectly. I think it's important to use applications with which you feel comfortable. You might have the greatest software on earth but it's useless if you can't use it.

I found browsing the folder structure at the destination site similar to using Windows Explorer to browse folder structure on a local computer. Once the connection was made, the rest of the task was easily undertaken.
