[Talk-ca] [Imports] FTP space for import data files

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi Steve, imports & talk-ca list.

So to further that,
for the CanVec data, im using my website inthosedays.com to ftp hold
all the .osm files. And so, as a temporary measure, i will be hosting
a copy of those NRN.osm files and putting them in the proper directory
so they can be easily found.

For now, (i think) i have enough storage room for it all, but a proper
more perminant 'home' would be better.

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Sam
