FTP Hosting

FTP Hosting services are great for people who don't have access to a server to store their files on. Basically, the service provides online storage on a hosted server. You basically rent space on their remote server.

Here's a nice overview on some of the details of FTP Hosting services. The article also touches on the inefficiencies and security concerns with relying on email to transfer and share files.

It is important to note that you will also need file transfer client software to transfer files from your computer to the hosted server. The linked article recommends a few of the usual suspects, including my favorite, WS_FTP Professional.

"WS FTP - as file transfer client software, it is the most popular. With the help of this secure software, you can quickly and easily manage all the digital information. It helps to compress files into .zip format during file transfer. It guarantees security of data with the help of 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys and SSL transfers."
