Determine the name of the server you wish yo log in to. Many times, this will be given to you by the person who is receiving or sending the file. For public access FTP sites, you can either search for them through an Internet search engine or 'guess' by replacing the 'www' in a web address with 'ftp.' For instance, you could try 'ftp.aol.com' as opposed to 'www.aol.com.'
Go to the command prompt for your operating system. For Windows, this means opening an MS-DOS window. Type 'ftp
,' where
is the name of the ftp server you are logging into, and press 'Enter.' Enter your username and password where requested. For public access servers, the username will almost always be 'anonymous' and the password your full email address.
Use the command 'dir' to list a directory's contents and 'cd' to change to a different directory until you find the file you want to receive or the directory your wish to transfer a file into.
Use either 'get
' or 'put
' to receive or to send the file.
Type 'bye' when the files have been transferred to end the connection.

How to Configure Email in Internet Explorer 8In Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
In the Tools menu, select “Internet Options.” This will open a dialog box with tabs that allow you to change features on your web browser.
Click on the “Programs” tab in the dialog box. You will see three panels: “Internet programs,” “Default web browser” and “Manage add-ons.”
Go to the “Internet Programs” block. In that block, look for the “E-mail” label (it is the second item). There is a drop-down next to this label that allows you to choose which program to use as your default email client when operating with Internet Explorer 8. There are three options: Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail.Microsoft Office Outlook is used mostly for business users but is not restricted to business purposes. Some people who have the Microsoft Office Suite use it to configure emails from other online email offerings such as Yahoo! Mail or Gmail. Microsoft Office Outlook is restricted to the computer you install it on; therefore, this option is best for at-home use or for your personal laptop.Outlook Express is very different from Outlook. They both handle email, address books and the like, but Outlook Express also handles Internet news. Outlook Express doesn’t interact with other programs such as Word, Excel, etc., therefore it is mostly a stand-alone program. Outlook has a powerful junk-mail program as well as incoming and outgoing filtering capabilities; Outlook Express can only handle incoming filtering. The biggest difference is that Outlook Express is only meant for single computers whereas Outlook email can be stored on a server and accessed from more places.Windows Live Mail is an online option for email which is great if you have a Windows Live account. The advantage to this is that you can check email from anywhere at anytime.
Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box to close the dialog box.

The Advantages of Java AppletsIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Java applets have increased interactivity for users. This is possible because the applets are actually software programs that are being ran from a browser. This means that the designer has an array of programs that can be created and turned into online applications. Increased interactivity is commonly found in the form of a game or a visual presentation.
Cross Platform Ability
Java is designed to be cross-platform compatible, meaning the same program can be used on multiple operating systems. Programmers do not have to design separate applications for separate operating systems; allowing their program to be used by nearly anyone using a web browser. This also permits applets to run on certain mobile phones.
Safety
Before downloading and running on your computer, Java applets must have the user's approval. This protects your computer by not allowing unwanted applets to download. Java also has built-in security that protects applets from doing anything harmful to your computer. A Java applet must also go through a verification process as it downloads to ensure the applet does not violate any access restrictions.
Server and Client Communication
Unlike most web programming languages, Java allows for dynamic server and client communication. This means that once the applet loads, it can consistently transfer information to and from the server. The constant line of communication can allow Java to update information in the applet as the program runs.
Database Integration
Java makes it easy to integrate the use of a database in an applet. This is mostly due to the ability for communication with the server. Java also has built-in functions for communicating with popular databases such as SQL, MySQL and Oracle.

How to Calculate Network ThroughputIn Feburary 2016 05,
In Feburary 2016 05,
Convert the TCP window size from bytes to bits: 64 KB is the default TCP window size for computers running the Windows operating system. To convert the window size to bits, multiply the number of bytes by eight. 64 KB x 8 = 524,288 bits.
Divide the TCP window size in bits by the network path latency. For this example, use a latency of 60 milliseconds. 524,288 bits / .060 seconds = 8,738,133 bits per second.
Convert the result from step 2 to megabits per second by dividing the result by 1,000,000. In this example, the maximum throughput is 8.738 Mbps maximum network throughput with the main limitation on the network throughput being the high latency of the network connection.

How to Install an IPB on a Go Daddy Hosted SiteIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
Launch your FTP software (e.g. CyberDuck for Macs or Fetch for PCs.) Connect the FTP software to your GoDaddy web server using the FTP information found in your GoDaddy registration email and on your GoDaddy account page.
Double-click the IPB zip file included with the Invision Power Board software from Invision Power Services. Your operating system will automatically unpack the file and present you with a folder.
Drag the folder onto the FPT software's window to upload it to your GoDaddy web hosting server's root drive. Wait for the upload process to complete. Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, this may take several minutes.
Launch a new window in your web browser. Navigate to the IPB installation page by typing http://yoursiteaddress.com/forum/install/index.php. Replace 'yoursiteaddress.com' with the actual domain name for your website. The IPB welcome screen will appear.
Click the 'Next' button to review the IPB terms of service. Click on the check box next to 'I Agree' and click 'Next' again. Complete each form as it is presented to you. For example, enter the name of your MySQL database and password (listed in your GoDaddy account page under 'MySQL').
Click 'Start Installation'. The IPB software will automatically install itself. Close the window when complete.
