WEEK 6
\nFILE SHARING
\nFile Sharing
\n<\/strong>Network file sharing is the process of copying data files from one computer to another using a live network connection.
\nBefore the Internet and home networks became popular, data files were often shared using floppy disks. Nowadays, some people still use CD-ROM \/ DVD-ROM disks and USB sticks (Flash drives) for transferring their photos and videos, but networks give you more flexible options.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FTP File Transfers
\n<\/strong>This is a method of sharing files where a central computer called the FTP server holds all the files to be shared, while remote computers running FTP client software can log in to the server to obtain copies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0P2P – Peer to Peer File Sharing
\n<\/strong>Peer to peer (P2P) file sharing is a popular method for swapping large files on the Internet, particularly music and videos. Unlike FTP, most P2P file sharing systems do not use any central servers but instead allow all computers on the network to function both as a client and a server.<\/p>\n

\u00a0NETWORK
\n<\/strong>
\n\u00a0A computer network<\/em> is a set of computers<\/em> connected together for the purpose of sharing information and resources. Networks are used to provide easy access to information, thus increasing productivity for users.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Benefits of networking
\n<\/strong>
\n\u00a0There are three main benefits of a network
\nFile Sharing
\n<\/strong>In a computer network, one can view, modify, and copy files stored on a different computer on the network just as easily as if they were stored on your computer.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Resource Sharing
\n<\/strong>Resources such as printers, fax machines, Storage Devices (HDD, FDD and CD Drives), Webcam, Scanners, Modem and many more devices can be shared in a network.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Program Sharing
\nOne can also share programs on a network. For example programs such as Microsoft Office, can be shared by computers in the network.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Types of Networks
\n<\/strong>
\n\u00a0Local Area Networks
\n<\/strong>Local area network (LANs) is a type of network connected within a very close geographic area, such as a floor of a building.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Metropolitan Area Networks
\n<\/strong>This is a<\/em> large computer network which extends to a city or town or a community.
\nWide Area Networks
\n<\/strong>This is a computer network in which the computers connected may be far apart. This network could exist between a city and another city, or even between two countries. <\/p>\n

\u00a0Intranet
\n<\/strong>An intranet is basically a network that is local to a company. In other words, users from within this company can find all of their resources without having to go outside of the company.
\nExtranet
\n<\/strong>An extranet is an extended intranet, where certain internal services are made available to known external users or business partners at remote locations.<\/p>\n
