The goal of this assignment is to establish that you understand the basic principles of the Unix operating system, that you can use the FTP protocol to transfer files to a Unix account, that you can use a telnet program to manipulate our account directly, and that you can set up your public_html directory with the correct permissions.

1. Secure your graphics and text files from the last assignment
2. Ensure that your machine has a ppp connection or you have an ISP.
3. If you have not already done so, be sure you have FTP and Telnet clients installed

5. Create a new directory called public_html
6. Set the permission of that directory to 755
7. Connect to your account with an FTP program
8. Get to your public_html directory
9. Transfer your files (last assignments graphics & readme.txt) to the public_html directory (be sure that you use ASCII mode for text files, and binary mode for graphics!!)
10. Go back to your telnet session and set the permissions of all the files you have transferred to 644 permission
11. Test by finding your site from the class roster.
12. If your name does not appear on the roster, email your instructor (mlion@cs.iupui.edu).
