The course covers the structure of a Linux based server system and the fundamentals of the operating system - creating directories, navigation, examining, copying and deleting files, setting file access, and so on. A short section on the vi editor teaches you how to make simple changes to files without having to upload new copies, and a brief reminder / overview of HTML ensures you have the knowledge to check out and update a user's web site. The course then covers the utilities that you'll use to upload and access your website from your own desktop, such as telnet and ssh, and tools such as tar, gzip and ftp used in file transfer.
