Niewerth’s Comments:  Regarding Article”FTP For the People” on Webmonkey’s website:

Is Michael CaloreFTP: For the People,  really for “all” the people??

In reading I was initially confused regarding exactly what Mr Calore was referencing when he used the term ”FTP Client”.   As an Artist all of my “clients” are people..

 I was told what a FTP protocol is and how an FTP client is used, and even what it could and couldn’t do.  Also I was told that the best way to transfer FTP files was with a “bona fide FTP “client”.. and that 100’s are out there… some are free …. and that I couldn’t “force a particular transfer mode” ??? what ever???. 

He goes on to talked about “your Client” and “my client”..etc

Then Finally, on Page 5 he reveals that that an FTP client is an “Application“  !!  YES, now I understand .. and I”m ready to FTP   

But why didn’t he tell me that it’s an application at the outset?? 

 Is it Just Me?? .. A Mac user

Comments; Reading chapter 1 in Dreamweaver..Good basic information.

Questions:

 How much XHTML does one need to know ?

 Will one’s “need to know” change in the future as visual interfaces evolve?? 

Is it legal to view the “source” of someone else’s page that you like , then copy and paste the cool XHTML tags into your own page;  Of course you would insert your own content. ????

Is this another reason why it’s good to know XHTML because we can steal and edit cool stuff ?
