1.2 Scripting and Markup languages

HTML and CSS are utilized for site structure creation and designing. JavaScript is the client-side scripting language that is used for web rendering of real programming code and logic, intended to compose applets for use on the site. JavaScript is utilized to change the conduct and dynamic components of the site. HTML5 is utilized to plan content and henceforth organize the elements on the web, that it very well may be shown on an internet browser. HTML is the markup language that characterizes the structure of a page. JavaScript is a programming language utilized on client side. jQuery was also used in this project.

The use of CSS or Cascading Stylesheets assists in the process of designing the web layout with backgrounds, colors, margins and so on.

In the similar way that the web associates us, there are unique web dialects that stir together to make up the web and the sites it contains. HTML, CSS and JavaScript cooperate to shape the front-end designing of a site by applying code that influences components, style and logic of a site.

PHP has been used as the server-side scripting language to connect the website with the MySQL database. This makes the website even more dynamic. The main purpose of PHP are:

PHP generates dynamic page content
It assists in database connectivity.
Allows to work on the database, by adding, modifying and deleting database contents.

3.2 Server Security

The following steps should be taken care of the security of the files and data that is uploaded on the server:

SSH Authentication: SSH keys are sets of cryptographic keys, which are used to confirm to a SSH server as an option in contrast to the general secret key-based logins. A private and open key pair are generated preceding the validation phase. While the private key is held onto by the client, the open key is imparted to the other users who plan on accessing the system.

Incremental Backups are a smarter way to utilize the prospects of the back-up system. This assists the system by taking iterative backups after specific intervals. This ensures that only the updated states of the system are backed-up, hence saving up on backup storage space and time.
