Is it possible to do an ftp server with dialup where the IP address changes
every time I log on and I don't have a domain registered anywhere so a DNS
service would be useless?
I was thinking SMTP because then I could send the file at my leisure and the
guy who needs the large files could receive it at his (we're on other sides
of the pond.. so different sleep schedules.. plus dialup ain't as always on
as I'd like it to be with other people in the house and an ISP that is very
anti-internet-connection-sharing)
