Rules Of Netiquette

Image
Introduction Netiquette, or network etiquette, is concerned with the "proper" way to communicate in an online environment. Consider the following "rules," adapted from Virginia Shea's   The Core Rules of Netiquette , whenever you communicate in the virtual world. Rule 1: Remember the Human When communicating electronically, whether through email, instant message, discussion post, text, or some other method, practice the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Remember, your written words are read by real people, all deserving of respectful communication. Before you press "send" or "submit," ask yourself, "Would I be okay with this if someone else had written it?" Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life While it can be argued that standards of behavior may be different in the virtual world, they certainly should not be lower. You should do your bes

File Transfer Protocol

Image
The   File Transfer Protocol   ( FTP ) is a standard   network protocol   used for the transfer of   computer files   between   a client and server on a   computer network . FTP is built on a client-server model architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.FTP users may authenticate themselves with a   clear-text   sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. For secure transmission that protects the username and password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often   secured   with   SSL/TLS   ( FTPS ).   SSH File Transfer Protocol   (SFTP) is sometimes also used instead; it is technologically different. The first FTP client applications were   command-line programs   developed before   operating systems   had   graphical user interfaces , and are still shipped with most   Windows ,   Unix , and   Linux   operating systems.Many FTP clients and

Voice Over Internet Protocol

Image
Voice over Internet Protocol   (also   voice over IP,   VoIP   or   IP telephony) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of   voice communications   and   multimedia sessions over   Internet Protocol   (IP) networks, such as the   Internet . The terms   Internet telephony,   broadband telephony, and   broadband phone service   specifically refer to the provisioning of communications services (voice,   fax ,   SMS , voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the   public switched telephone network   (PSTN). The steps and principles involved in originating VoIP telephone calls are similar to traditional digital   telephony   and involve signaling, channel setup, digitization of the analog voice signals, and encoding. Instead of being transmitted over a   circuit-switched network , the digital information is packetized, and transmission occurs as IP packets over a   packet-switched network . They transport media streams using special media deliv

Message Board

Image
 M essage board, is an   online   discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.   They differ from   chat rooms   in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible. Forums have a specific set of jargon associated with them; example: a single conversation is called a " thread ", or   topic . A discussion forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: a forum can contain a number of subforums, each of which may have several topics. Within a forum's topic, each new discussion started is called a thread, and can be replied to by as many people as so wish. Depending on the forum's settings, users can be anonymous or have to register with the forum and then subsequently   log in in order to post messages. On most forums,

Instant Messaging

Image
Instant messaging  ( IM ) is a type of  online chat  that offers  real-time text  transmission over the   Internet . A  LAN messenger  operates in a similar way over a  local area network . Short messages are typically transmitted between two parties, when each user chooses to complete a thought and select "send". Some IM  applications  can use  push technology  to provide  real-time text , which transmits messages character by character , as they are composed. More advanced instant messaging can add  file transfer , clickable  hyperlinks ,  Voice over IP , or  video chat . Non-IM types of chat include  multicast  transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms", where participants might be anonymous or might be previously known to each other (for example collaborators on a project that is using chat to facilitate communication). Instant messaging systems tend to facilitate connections between specified known users (often using a contact list also known as

e-mail

Image
Electronic Mail  ( email  or  e-mail ) is a method of exchanging messages between people using electronic devices. Email first entered limited use in the 1960s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email. Email operates across  computer networks , which today is primarily the  Internet . Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be  online  at the same time, in common with  instant messaging . Today's email systems are based on a  store-and-forward  model. Email  servers  accept, forward, deliver, and store messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a  mail server  or a  webmail  interface, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages. Originally an  ASCII  text-only communications medium, Internet email was extended by  Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions  (MIME) to carry text in other character sets and multimedia content
