    FTP server

    The fact that FTP authentication credentials are provided in clear text is a big risk and that all traffic between the server and client is unencrypted leaving you susceptible to man in the middle attacks. You could use SFTP and use keys instead of password authentication. Traffic would be...

    Web Development Help Please

    If using PHP look at the $_FILES superglobal in the manual. http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php I would advise against storing images as a BLOB in a database directly and instead rely upon maintaining...

    question about networking

    You'll need patch cables to connect the patch panel to the switch. No you don't need anything special to work with CAT6, it's just made to a higher specification than CAT5e. Given the size of the installation I would probably go for Netgear, but that's my personal preference.

    An odd problem

    I doubt that, more stable than Microsoft's recent OS offerings... maybe, but certainly not more stable than Unix, Linux, BSD, etc.

    System Tool Malware

    I have an old Atari 520ST sitting in my wardrobe in pristine condition. Can't beat the Little Green Desktop! It's an argument that is regularly brought up, but I wouldn't say that. Linux is used widely to provide web services. Hackers would have far more fame if they discovered crippling...

    Thunderbird

    Have you tried deleting your primary Thunderbird profile and recreating your accounts? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager I would recommend backing up your existing profiles just in case.[/code]

    Best E-mail Client?

    I'm personally a Thunderbird user and I really can't fault it. I also used Evolution Mail for a while but the HTML rendering engine was poor, other than that there were no major issues. However, that isn't available on Windows.

    linux - which flavour???

    Personally I use Debian, it has a wide variety of packages readily available and are also well maintained. I also much prefer the Apt updater than the Yum updater which for me is a big deal from a maintainability perspective. To me a lot of the package "standards" that Debian put in place are...

    Do MACs need security software?

    I think you hit the nail right on the head here, you have such limited experience that in your eyes what you're saying is true. You can't claim that because you haven't had malware on two Macs in your small company that every Mac is safe from malware, it's far too small of a test group to...

    Do MACs need security software?

    Whether you have a PhD or not is completely irrelevant, you've been given evidence that refutes your argument and I believe that stands on it's own merit without mentioning personal achievements. By the way it's PhD, with a lower case 'h'. I'm fairly sure that someone who had attained a PhD...

    Do MACs need security software?

    Well I seem to remember that this entire argument was started because you seemed to think antivirus was unnecessary because there has never been any malware, now I've given you a document from Apple stating that in actual fact Antivirus is recommended. I see you failed to address my point...

    Do MACs need security software?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 So explain why they have a list of security updates that have been applied to their software? According to you, they never have any malware so why would they need to apply security updates? If you could also explain why they publish security guides on the...

    Bathroom Pullcord Dimmer and Fan

    I currently have a Dimpull pullcord dimmer installed in my bathroom. I'm now wanting to add an extractor fan to the bathroom and I want this to turn on when the light is turned on with a timer overrun. Unfortunately the current dimming pull cord doesn't have a switched live output to provide...

    HP C7280 will not scan to computer

    Have you read the documentation? Normally you have to set up a shared folder to scan to via the web interface, it should all be explained in the manual. Not all of the printer options are available through the display on the printer.

    What's The Best Free Anti-Virus?

    I'm always amazed at how defensive Mac owners get about their precious platform. It's like a cult, a really vain cult that has no understanding of function over aesthetics. Don't misunderstand me, I'm well aware not every Mac user is like the above. Obviously there are far fewer viruses that...

    how to retrieve data

    You could alternatively load a live CD of a Linux distribution to view files on the corrupted partition and then back up to whatever storage you like. The advantages are that you don't have to go through any installation processes or hardware changes and there are a lot of tools available...
