Robert's site

Alright, I've looked over the files in Robert's soon to be web site. Wow! That's a lot of stuff! I think I will throw his rock identification online if that's ok, just to see how well it works. There is one link that is not working, but I will fix that soon. Any suggestions?

Update

Here's what I've done in the past few days...
Last week I talked about ports with you and tried to figure out how stuff works. I then went on to research ports and many other things. Yesterday, I learned a little about telnet, and was able to access telnet servers from the terminal in my computer. Pretty interesting stuff!

Oops!

Oops! I read that wikipedia article, and figured out my problem. Here is my server

ftp://userver.serveftp.com/

It works!

Speeds

I am testing my server out, and for some reason when I upload a file, the speed maxes out at exactly 1 meg a second. I will try downloading it for more results. It could be the network, or my network card, or maybe the server, but I set that to max out at 99999 KBPS. Weird.

Also, no hope for giving it a domain name. Don't know why, but nothing works with FTP servers.

More stuff

I figured I would start blogging more on what I've been doing. Not much (it's been vacation!)

But, I am still looking for a way to give my FTP server a domain name other than 65.175.195.33. It's not going so well. I tried turning it into a HTTP server, but that didn't work. I found out what port 990 did, though. It is FTPS, a more secure FTP server. I guess that means all transfers are encoded so they can not be spied on. Is that correct?

Also, any advice on giving it a domain name?
