Hey all, couldn't really figure where to post this thread so i put it here! 
I have just tried to upload a file using www.uploadit.com and they are now charging people to use their service. They are offering a free trial but the file size is limited! 
Does anybody know of any other FREE sites where i can upload files or pics so that i can display them in Esato forums???
Cheers in advance

I tried to ask about that myself some weeks ago but the only thing i ended up with was a norwegian host. So it will probably not help you that much.

Which ISP are you with? Don't they provide a bit of free web space?
I mean, like AOL or NTL do, I think several of the other big players do too.

@scott
Yeah, that's what I do, works fine!
If you need an ftp program, do a google search for ace ftp. Works great and it's free
@mkush
The img src or BB img codes just point to the absolute address of the image, so if your website is at 'www.mysite.com', and you have a folder within your site called 'images' that contains the picture you want to display, your code would point to 'www.mysite.com/images/my_image.jpg'
It's exactly the same as displaying images on a webpage using html, except obviously you can't use relative addressing (/images/my_image.jpg), only absolute addressing.
Likewise, if you want to link to a file then yes, you do just display the absolute addy of the file, eg. www.mysite.com/my_theme.thm
Bear in mind though, that if you want wap users to be able to download stuff directly from your site, you will need to set the MIME types for your server.

@Cycovision
Yeah im def gonna do that now. I use Dreamweaver MX it has built in FTP, its very good.
The only concern i have is that i don't want other people who are visting my site, coming across my images. This is my business's website u see!
Any ideas or tips?

Just stick your images in a folder that is not linked to anywhere in your main site.
For example, create a folder structure such as '/personal/esato/images'
It will not interfere with the functioning of your main site.
Actually, you don't even need to do that, as long as you're site doesn't link to the files or images, any visitors to your site won't know that they are there! It's good housekeeping to have seperate folders for different stuff, that's all.
Search engines might pick the files up when they spider, but they're unlikely to find anything other than html, php, asp or images.

Yeah, it depends on how much web space and bandwidth your ISP or host provides, but bearing in mind that jpg's and mobile files are small, it shouldn't be a problem for most people. Certainly not if your simply using your web space to host images to display on forums. There is no maximum file size as such for uploading using ftp.
It was nobody's idea as such! Upload sites are simply web sites hosted on a web server the same as any other site, they just provide an upload script via a web page so that you don't need an ftp client, that's all
