Re: FTP Capable Backup Sites

Hosted is the kind of thing I'm looking for Kevin - thanks for that. It would however massively increase my budget.

The closest offering to what I have now would take me from $25 per annum (admittedly very cheap) to nearly $2,000. That ain't gonna happen. Best case scenario would be for me to radically reduce the number of active backups I retain to fit within 40Gb and even that would take me to close to 20x what I spend now.

I'll take a look at your other suggestions - thanks.

Almost all web hosts have FTP access.
Hostedftp.com is a ftp front end over AWS's S3.
Drivehq and Sharefile both offer ftp hosting.

Anytime I needed it I just fire up a small instance on amazon ec2 and
load up a FTP server on that, but I'm comfortable managing my own
hosting.

There is no local PC to copy anything to Brad - I would have to set up a
machine specifically for the purpose. Then set up the Google drive, etc.

And to what benefit? More work, greater dependency on PC hardware, and
no payback except moving off ADrive.

Surely to goodness ADrive are not the only people who offer FTP sites?

And just to make sure, you did see where I said why not FTP to a PC
somewhere, correct? If you're just looking for a place to send them
via FTP (assuming the location to FTP to can be changed) why do you
need something big and public?

FTP it to a PC to a folder that's mirrored with Google Drive or One
Drive and you've not only solved the issue, but you also have it
automatically backing up to the cloud.

And therein lies the rub Brad. Your solution, among many others
would work just fine, but the scripts are already in place - and in
the case of the blog site not fully controlled by me.

You're going to have to elaborate. Are you saying you can't change
the FTP script?
