Check out sitecopy which is like rsync but supports ftp.

weex is one more program like that.

I signed up too... It's 10euro though... Currently uploading my backup folders/files... Working excellent through ftp, other than my slow home internet... I'll admit rsync would be nice, but for this price it's perfect for what I need...

Thanks @Ympker for mentioning it in another post...

Once it's uploaded, let me know how long the publication takes.

I'm doing in batches of about 4 gb files... Publications seems to take about a minute or two... (depending on how many files I have waiting to be published)

Publication as in sharing the download link? Should be instant via dashboard or what are you referring to?

Sorry - might have used the wrong word. Transfer from FTP to your account.

Looking at 1fichier, hubiC, and time4vps. I think I'll try out 1fichier next week, seems promising.

It's only for backup files, not going to access probably ever.

I'm using backblaze on one of my VPS's -- works great using the command line tool

Wow interesting, I'll try it out. (Just thought the MacOS version would be GUI, guess not)

The day you'll need to access the data you'll need a plan. Doing it via single file links will be a pain.

If you want a service like 1fichier, you can try uptobox, similar price than 1fichier, but your are able to download from ftp.

Just realized I can't bulk download, which isn't gonna work for me. Going to attempt to install backblaze on my Pi and see if I can figure out how to use it.

According to @kendid the MacOS command-line method also works on Linux, testing out to see if it'd work. If all fails I'll just go good ol' rsync and a time4vps storage vps.

Is there any info on this? I don't see it listed on their website.

I can't link, but on the front page, you have a link "upload ftp" and I have tested too.

Oh. Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought you meant that a premium user could download their hosted files via FTP.
