I lost my 10 MB free FTP location when my local ISP was bought by
Rogers.com (the monster ISP here in Canada). I used to use GooglePages
when I wanted to stash some files accessible by others but it seems to
be in process of being replaced by Google-sites which offers almost the
same capabilities ... I'm not sure what it offers in the way of
scripting though.
