If you are concerned about using a server during peak times, you can do a
couple of things.

1.  Hold your class in the evenings.
2.  Hold your class on a weekend.
3.  FTP to sites in other time zones, such as sun0.urz.uni-heidelberg.de

I really believe that it is important to let participants have hands-on
experience with Internet tools.  I've done followup support for
participants from both lecture and hands-on classes. The hand-on
participants almost always have fewer questions and a better understanding
of the FTP process.

Hope that helps :^)
