Here are the facts:
1. Using bullet-proof ftp server.
2. Have a dynamic IP internet connection.
3. Have a domain which is hosted by the tucows.
4. Want to create a way for my users to either browse to my website and click on a link to the ftp site or to automatically link to my domain.
5. Want to use the least amount of software and web services possible - don't mind if it's complicated, but safe.
Thanks!
How do I set up an auto-updating link on my website to my dynamic IP ftp server?
I would write a secret script called "updateip.pl" or something so you could have a program on your computer secretly access the address "yourdomain.com/updateip.pl?ip=xxx.xxx.x... This would update a text file that your page would draw from, using server-side includes or something.
That sounds really complicated but if you know basic perl, maybe vb6, it would take maybe 20 minutes to do.
