You might want to look at possibilities at sdf. They have various levels of 
service and quite alot of flexibility in 
what you can do. It's sort of a socialist ideology. It runs on BSD, btw. You 
won't get root priviledges by any means, 
but you can do quite alot on their system. The disk space you'll be allowed 
would never be near what you could get 
setting up your own personal ftp server. But honestly: 80GB for ftp hosting? 
What in the world would you use all that 
space for? I would say 10 GB would be way more than enough. Anyway, it looks 
like MetaARPA membership (US $36/yr) at 
sdf allows the largest allocation of disk space--currently 800MB. You get 
dynamic dns along with that, as well as 
ability to run cron jobs and some other priviledges. You know best what you 
need and want, but if you're looking for 
alternate options, sdf might be worth considering.
