FTP

With the knowledge of FTP from module 1 I started to do this task with confidence and got stuck in the end for a long time and seeked Cynthia's help for the first time.

First of all using Filezelia I uploaded my web page and FTP it to Curtin Oasis. Then I downloaded the VPN cisco system and able to log in fine. But when I try to access my home page through VPN an error message kept on coming.

So I emailed Cynthia and as per her instruction I did not continue to waste any time longer on this task as she reckons it as an IT issue.

Hi Cynthia,
Some how I managed to log on to VPN client and then when I typed the URL
http://student.curtin.edu.au/~12975608 the following message comes up. What have I
done incorrectly?
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~12975608/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi Janaki,
some students have issues with VPN and not being able to access their
page - at this late stage in the unit I strongly suggest moving on from
the task and perhaps simply uploading to the presentations area instead.
You can contact curtin IT and ask for help but it will take a while.
Do you feel ok with letting that go and uploading to presentations at
this stage? if it were earlier in the sp I would suggest we follow it
through but I really dont want you to get bogged down with an it related
issue when you have an alternative available.
Cheers'cynth

I successfully uploaded my web page in the presentation in WebCT which gives me satisfaction at this point in time.
