Final Notes
Try and use Odyssey first; arguably, it is easier
Use this approach only when it appears the
Odyssey is slow or appears to be failing
You can use the approach repeatedly, but you will
be warned that you are trying to overwrite files
when FTPing your new files to Remote;
generally, you want to respond “Yes” to overwrite
warnings
At the time of writing, there is no word on how A3
late submissions will be handled
