Hi, i'm from Canada. Right now I'm in Australia on vacation and have access to only a crappy 800mhz laptop. I have a website but there was a poweroutage where i live in canada and my computer didnt turn back or the VNC server failed to start, so the domain is parked right now.

I am fairly new to computers, by my terms. I know basic HTML, quite a bit of C++, don't understand QT and other visual languages at all but am starting to learn. I know a fair bit about Linux and I love freeBSD (porting my way to heaven). I am obsessed with web security and the like, am learning a bit about FTP right now, and am making good progress on it. Hopefully it will reduce the hassle of VNC when I want to add content to my site remotely (It's postnuke ran so this isn't much of a problem).

Apart from computers, I have a great life, which could be better, but beggers can't be choosers. I used to play basketball in grade 9 but didn't make the team for grade 10 so i'm a bit down right now. Oh well...

welcome aboard mister ;]

Welcome to the forums. You're concerned about security, but you're learning about FTP. That's a contradiction. =)

You used to upload content via VNC? Maybe you should have a look at SSH or SFTP. =)
