LOGGING IN
Telnet is a text-only communications program that allows you to connect to remote
computers, anywhere on the Internet. The process of connecting to the remote
computer is often called logging in. You can login to any computer on which you
have a computer account.

Emacs is a powerful text editing environment. Emacs is available on UNIX systems
and provides users with both a simple to use window-based text editor and a highly
advanced and fully customizable editing environment. Emacs can be started by
typing emacs filename at a UNIX prompt in order to edit a file.

Pico is a simple text editor that is invoked automatically when you compose or read
an email message or newgroup article in Pine. Pico can also be used as a standalone text editor by typing pico filename at a UNIX prompt. As the all the avialable
commands are listed across the bottom of the screen, Pico is one of the most user
friendly text editors available on the UNIX system.

Vi, pronounced "vee-eye", is a full-screen text editor available in UNIX. Vi all ows
you to view and edit text files and is generally one of the faster editors in terms of
speed of work. Vi, however provides the user with little guidance and requires that
the user knows a number of obscure keystrokes. Vi can be started by typing vi
filename at a UNIX prompt.

FILE TRANSFER
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a set of rules that specify how files are to be
exchanged between two computers on the Internet. FTP is commonly used to
retrieve files from FTP archive sites on the Internet. Users around the world
frequently access such archives via "anonymous FTP".

File Permissions. In order for someone to read a file owned by you, they must
have read permission for the file. In order for someone to execute a file owned by
you, they must have execute permission for the file. Once they have read
permission, they can also copy the file into their account. In order for someone to
access a file in one of your directories, they must also have the appropriate
permissions on that directory and all the directories above it.

The first column contains 10 bit positions which describe the permissions for the file.
The first bit is defined as follows:
- entry is a plain file
d entry is a directory
l entry is a symbolic link
The next 9 bits define the user, group and other permissions as follows:
r the file is readable
w the file is writable
x the file is executable
- the indicated permission is not granted.
The 9 bits are broken up into three sections of three bits for the user, group, and
others as follows:
rwx rwx rwx
user group others
WEBPAGES
While logged into your ISD computer account, type requestwww at the system
prompt. Answer all questions. The program will create a public_html directory for
you, and an index.html file. You can use this file as a template to start building your
home page.
