I've just signed up to the free membership at Drivehq.com so i can backup some of my stuff on the cloud.

How can i connect to it via ftp (I'm pretty suer it's alllowed).

I'd like to use the ftp command in linux and don't really want to install any extra apps.

thanks in advance

At command line type:
ftp <hostname>
Where hostname is the target system. You'll be prompted for username and password.

You can also do it in a browser:
ftp://<user>:<password>@<hostname>
Where user is the login, password is the password for that user and hostname is the target system.
