free stroage accessable by ftp? [closed]

Question

I am wondering if anyone knows of any good sites that give a GB or more of storage? I need to be able to use ftp as I want to transfer backups of my site through C# to this site.

My hosting company allows me store my own backups on my hosting plan but at $2/month you never know if they won't all of sudden not be there one day.

I was looking to see if Google or MS had something that they offered for free but I don't see any.

Are you are a web developer. In my opinion, you should at all times be keeping a local copy of whatever you are putting on your web host.

You also could set up an FTP server on your own home Internet connection using an old PC if use of FTP is critical.

Is your hosting site a Unix-based site? If so, 1) you should be using WinSCP instead of anything to do with FTP if your host offers and 2) you can likely login to your host, use the tar command to aggregate all your files into a single .tar file, and 3) put it somewhere publicly accessible temporarily so you can download it, then delete it.
