Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Looking for free webpage hosts that allow FTP (for webcam)
Hey guys.. if you know of any free homepage providers that allow FTP... I have already tried geocities, fortunecity, tripod, and crosswinds. Better yet, if you have a webcam, tell me where to check out (no personal web server recommendations). Thanks.

Try XOOM.COM. They allow FTP access.
I use ftp to upload files to Fortunecity... what exactly are you trying to achieve?
I assume you are sending an updated webcam image every couple of minutes?
I think the format is something like ftp://username:password@ftp.fortunecity.com
I'll try xoom. Thanks... keep the suggestions coming though..
Yes, fortunecity allows it... but it's not as quick as I had hoped. You guessed right as to what I'm doing... every 1 minute though. Reloading the webpage takes too long, even on the T1 we run on here... so I assume fortunecity's server is slow... looking for better alternatives, that's all.
Geocities' is quick, but the problem with them is they don't replace the image if you upload the same filename... so it's useless.

Try Virtual Avenue
www.virtualave.net (http://www.virtualave.net)
They also allow you to run your own cgi scripts on their server which is good.
