Actually, all providers have a very good reason
to ban this - it's called "bandwidth stealing" and
can run up very high bills O_O, which is worse 
when the traffic hits don't even count on the 
server from where the files are pulled (I don't 
mean total counts, of course). But firstly, why do 
you want files to be remotely accessed? (What 
kind of material.) If it's for your *own* use, 
i.e. password protected and such, there are free 
"disk storage" space servers for private use 
(i.e. on-line backup). Some may even allow out- 
linking, I'm not sure... If the data are images, 
Photopoint, Honesty, and some other freeservers 
will allow out-linking (that I'm aware of). 

Anyway, check out Myspace.com for 
an example of an on-line "hard drive." ^_^
