Can anyone recommed a free image hosting service that allows FTP upload? (or is there no such animal?). It also needs to be free of adult popups and banners.
Most hosting service do use FTP, although it’s embedded in your browser. I don’t know of any that allow direct FTP upload via your own FTP client, if that’s what you mean. Can you clarify a bit, and explain why you need to use FTP?
I’m working on a community radio project at the end of the month and we’ll be setting up a webcam in the studio; we don’t have the bandwidth to serve it directly, so I have a bit of software that uploads an image every X seconds by FTP. The hists that offer FTP upload and free web hosting will only do it in conjunction with a domain reguistration, or they have multiple popups, or they won’t allow the image to be linked externally.
In the end, I splashed out a few quid for some web space on my personal domain and I’ll use that; I’ll just embed my page inside a frame on one of the radio station pages.
I think that’s what you’d have to do anyway. I haven’t read the TOS of all the major free image hosting services I know of, but I’d wager they place some transfer limits that are commensurate with the price you’re paying to use their servers.
Heh. No such thing as a free lunch; there ‘free’ were hosts that offered unmetered bandwidth, but again, there were other limitations; I don’t suppose it is all that surprising that nobody wants to let me intensively use even a tiny piece of their bandwidth and server, for nothing at all in return.
