Download and Install a Web Server
1. First step was to download the Apache web server and test your local host for functionality also known as the “loopback address.”
2. Next was the creation of a simple homepage. Using a word processor or text editor . You do this by creating a text file and replacing the existing index file with the one you created in the document root and save it with the same name.
4. The FTP client was the next on the list things to accomplish. The server software that was used was the Filezilla software which is a widely known and used software.
Conclusions
I was absent from this lab exercise but I have used FTP clients prior to this lab although I am not too familiar with all of the commands that are able to be used in the command prompt.
