please be aware at the loopholes in FTP before doing this. Speak to your ISP and ensure they are running some sort of SFTP(SecureFTP).

With basic FTP you have two levels of access, password sent in clear text ... BAD... or Anonymous .... obviously also BAD... you often get people saying 'use your email address as password. This gives some form of security in their eyes, however i can put anything in there i like long as it has an @ symbol in there.

FTP is the least secure protocol in the world and you could quite simply find yourself hosting a LOT of things you REALLY don't want to be hosting.
