Two possible options, one cheaper and easier than the other. 

The more expensive option is to get yourself some WWW space somewhere. I 
update some pages on a web site based at Cityscape and the update method 
involves logging in with username and password, after which I have 
access to the directories for that username to upload/download files as 
much as I like.

The cheaper one is to get a copy of KA9Q on another machine. I have got 
two machines talking this way - quick and dirty method was to open a tip 
session on the serial port on the KA9Q and emulate the Demon end of a 
login (sending CONNECT, login:, password:, protocol: and HELLO at 
appropriate moments) and then quit the tip session. If you use slip at 
both ends and are careful with IP addresses, you can get the two to 
play. Not sure how much of the ftp protocol is supported by KA9Q so this 
might not help.

Any advice above is worth what I paid for it.
