FTP Site for Ant Literature?

	I have a large database of ant literature (17,000
references) that I would like to deposit at an anonymous
FTP site for distribution.
	The compressed version requires 3MB of disk space. 
I would like to put up both a Macintosh and an IBM
version, so that would be a little under 6 MB.
	Does anyone out there know of a good place to put
these files?
	Also, does anyone out there have technical
expertise with sending database files via FTP?  I plan
to use PK-Zip for IBM compression and DiskDoubler for
Macintosh compression.  Is UU Encode or BinHex also
necessary?  Are there limits on the sizes of files that
can be sent?  What other problems am I likely to
encounter?

Sincerely,

Sanford Porter, Ph.D.
Research Entomologist
