Anyone know anything about setting up FTP sites to update files on remote computers? Any approaches that are better?

If you know a thing or two about a thing or two, I'd like to chat with ya. Shoot me your contacts in a PM through the forums, and I'll get back to you. This could potentially be a paying project for someone if you're knowledgeable enough and we decide to move forward with the idea.

For the data I'm trying to make available security isn't a huge concern - There are plenty of easier ways to get a hold of it than to hack the FTP host.

I can tell you I know nothing about FTP
