Mary Esther, FL | Free (or cheap) hosting I have no desire to build a website, just looking for a place to send (legal) files to an FTP server and have the recipient click on a site and download them. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Rob |

| Many hosts you can consider legit/reliable/durable (or their upstream providers) have TOS prohibiting that particular type of use...covering their backsides to avoid excessive bandwidth or having to respond to takedowns or other legal process. Be very careful: Get it in writing that your intended use is fully permitted. And, if it is, make sure that if they are a reseller that their provider also expressly allows it as well.

Mary Esther, FL | Now, these are big files and my current provider 1&1 will NOT let me view the linux page (files) for some stupid reason.
Will dropbox let me share the files to this person? |
|
| You should be able to. You'd give the person a link and they can access the files as normal and download them to their workstation.

How big of files are you trying to share?

Warren, NJ | No need to install dropbox software on their PC. Dropbox has a web interface that requires no software installation.

Thread is kind of old but you could run a FTP server on your own system. Your ISP may block the normal FTP/SSH ports but the server application will let you choose whatever port you want.
You can take the server offline when not in use. |

You could check out »www.freewebhostingtalk.com and »www.webhostingtalk.com
If you can't find a host at either of these two web hosting forum communities, you probably won't find one 
I hope this helps

The space provided to you by your webhosting company? File hosting sites like mediafire.com should only be relied upon for short term file hosting needs.

God, some people are right cheap skates - hosting is so cheap nowadays and people are STILL asking for free offerings. |
