Please read both parts of this post before responding.

1) Ultimately, the goal would be to swap FTP space with someone to store events offsite incase the ZM computer was stolen/burned/water damage/etc. So, would anyone be up for this? I have a fast internet connection (6mbit down, 768k/up), and have plenty of storage.

2) The security of this. What issues would there be for doing this? Obviously, I don't want some stranger looking at my daily activities (granted, it's just my house - but it is MY house).

Are there any ways to _quickly_ encrypt the jpeg before being ftp'd or sent? I don't know how this would work, but perhaps have the events directory Sync'd to a remote host with some other software? This software would also have to run some sort of encryption.

In the, hopefully, unlikely event I need to get my pictures, I'll need to be able to decrypt these images from another computer...maybe even windoze.

Any suggestions? Has this been covered already? Anyone willing to swap FTP space?

OR.. Anyone know of a CHEAP internet host with lots of storage?

I am doing the same thing for about 12 customers now. I can give you about 5GB of space at no charge.

The reason that I am willing to give you the space for FREE is simple. I benefit alot from open source software and donate when ever possible. So a way for me to give back to the open source community was to do something I know pretty well which happens to be data center design and support.

The light came on and I decided to start a Free Managed Hosting project. Website (Http://www.FreeManagedHosting.com) is currently being designed.

But with all the being said send me a PM and I can get you setup to sync off-site to our servers and use encrpytion.

You could always have it email events to a gmail account
