I’m looking for a free host that I have no interest in making a web site on. Just a place to host a few files.

Five megs or so would be cool. I know there are about a million places that host free pages. I just want a site that I can upload to on an ftp client and not bother with making some bullshit home page.

Recommendations appreciated.

Thanks,  
Gatsby

I’m not sure what you have in mind, but you can try [Freedrive](http://www.freedrive.com). You get 50 megs disk space. You can also share out files from it. I use it to store backups of my data files.
