Dennis -
If you are a member of ASP (association of Shareware Professionals) - then
you already have the guide to 'where to post your files for free' - but -
lets assume you are not, for the moment.

[disclaimer - I am a reseller for these guys]
I do a lot of work with LunarPages - their Basic Shuttle Plan @ 7.95 /month
gives you 1 gig o storage and 40 gigabytes of transfer bandwith, per month.
You can check them out at http://efgroup.net/efglunar.html

Going Forward - you could either make a directory that resembles an http/ftp
listing [then the user clicks for d/l]
or you can make a page that has the href tag as you like it.

Let me know your thoughts?

hth - mondo regards [Bill]
