I want to host an ftp, the address or location doesnt matter. I only need about 10mb. I dont care the speed or anything, it just needs to have a constant address with a passworded directory so that no one can get in besides me. I have several clients set up to send log files to an ftp. However, I cant host my own FTP off my pc because the darn IP changes every 4 hours. And it would be to inconvient to go around and change the settings of each machine manually. Thanks alot.

FTP accounts are around $5/month, even with very respectable hosts like Pair networks. Most also host HTTP connections, so you would get some webspace as well.

If your IP changes often, you can sign up for a free account at http://www.dyndns.org. Your IP will be attached to a subdomain name you can choose yourself (like : ian.homedns.org). There are also some programs available you can use to automatic update your ip in the dns-server of dyndns.org. But if you only need 10 MB, it may be a lot of work for you...

To be completly honest I could settle for much less space than that. I will only use it to transfer about 1 to 100 log files that are only about 2k a piece. Even a 1Mb FTP server would suit just fine. I wish I knew how to get around the DHCP loophole. Does that http://www.dyndns.org allow remote loading? (only using to store files, not publishing to the web) I know angelfire doesnt allow that.

The 'dyndns.org'-thingy only solves this problem: "However, I cant host my own FTP off my pc because the darn IP changes every 4 hours" (quote from your first post) You changing IP will be attached to one subdomain-name wich doesnt change.
If you choose that option, you'll host your own ftp-server. You can choose whether you want to start a webserver aswell or not.
