Week 8 - FTP and Web publishing

FTP; aka File Transfer Protocol is (defined by wiki as) "a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the internet."
This is good because it means you can upload information instantly onto a public server.
However FTP has some negatives as well, such as:
Bounce Attacks,
Spoof Attacks,
Brute Force Attacks,
Sniffing,
Username Protection, and
Port Stealing.
But these risks can be minimized by employing encryption tools.

I learn about Athene and created a site which you can access here if you wish.
