Re: Explain about FTP please.

We have a few megs of webspace with NTL/VM.
So I can transfer files up there using FTP.
For example, if I post a picture up there, I can allow others to view it by giving them the link:-
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.smith/picture.jpg
(Where john.smith is my NTL user name and picture.jpg is the filename of the posted picture).

Similarly, I can post other types of files up there and allow people to download them by giving them the link.

But the disadvantage is that I would be telling everyone that I'm called John Smith.
I don't want to do anything illegal, but it would be better if my user name wasn't up there in the link.

What I want to know is, are there any places where you can get free rent of some space where you can just use a nickname?

Or some 'anonymous' site where it doesn't get erased after a few days.

I've already signed up to drivehq.com, but I don't think that you can just post links. They expect you to 'publish' files then send people some kind of password by email so that others can log on and get the file.

I just want something cheap and cheerful like the NTL webspace, but anonymous.

Can anybody suggest anything that would do it?
If you need "free" hosting - I could sort you out 50MB of free space. Drop me a PM.
