You won??™t get
much work done with the FTP utility until you??™ve worked with it for a while. The same holds true
for working with RAS and Telnet. Since you??™ll find use for these utilities for general management
tasks, as well as a means to troubleshoot problems in an emergency, it??™s a good idea to work with
them using a test setup. In this case, you??™ll actually want to set up a client system and a server
so that you can see how communications work over a network. Trying to learn these applications
on a single system can provide a less than real world experience.
Chapter 18 moves onto the task of monitoring your server. Monitoring is important for many
reasons. For example, you need to ensure that the performance of your system remains consistent
and you can??™t do that without performing some level of monitoring. You??™ll also use monitoring to
detect existing or potential hardware failures, as well as the activities of outsiders who don??™t have
your best interests in mind. In short, Chapter 18 is an essential maintenance chapter??”it describes
the monitoring tasks you must perform to have a healthy server.
