does anyone know any free hosting services that give you ASP support and FTP support? thanks!

Brinkster.com has free ASP support, but if you want FTP that's an extra 3.95 a month.

# apachectl start
There you go
That is, if you have the apache ASP perl module installed

yeah, but if youve looked at my homepage, its already on brinkster. Right now I'm trying to make a web database, so I need to be able to FTP a server over the web. FTP is essential. And yes, I've seen most of the sites on www.free-asp-hosting.com

Why do you need FTP to create a web database? I did it without FTP.

I also don't have a FTPd in here, and everything works quite ok. FTP in fact is a very insecure protocol, since the password is transmitted in clear text, so everybody who really would want you password will have it quite easily. And, if that password is the password for all services on the server, your account won't be your's anymore in a very short period
Copying files the secure way is best done with scp and sftp. Both use the SSH protocol, and thus are very secure. So I would recommend you to use SCP/SFTP instead of a conventional FTP

Or, you can make admin tools for your website. That's what I did.

and use those admin tools over https and not conventional http

I don't think Brinkster has SSL.

ur kinda missing the point, though. I need something with FTP so that I can use a application completely separate from my webpage to save data onto the webpage's directory. And me, being cheap, am looking for something free.

If you can install software on that machine, you should install SSH and use sftp which accompanies with it.
Else, you can either use the insecure FTP protocol. Good clients for this are gFTP (if you're on linux) or wsFTP (if you're on windows). There is a free version of wsFTP for students.
