Choose the content of your virtual library wisely. The difference between a website and a virtual library is the quality of the content chosen for inclusion. Expanding your library outside of the traditional library building is the key to holding on to existing patrons and making new ones. Make sure that the sources chosen for inclusion in your virtual library are of the same quality you would give to your patrons in person.
Practice good design techniques when implementing your virtual library layout. Good virtual library design techniques include a simple layout, familiar fonts and color schemes and self-explanatory pages. Keep in mind as you create this site that your users will be accessing the virtual library from remote locations. If they have a problem or do not understand something immediately, you will not be around to answer their questions. If your site is too complicated or confusing, users will go elsewhere to find the information they are seeking.
Offer as many online resources as possible, such as 'IM a librarian,' chat with a librarian and email reference consultations; online library card registration, online newsletters/blogs, links to community resources, reference tools such as pathfinders and comment forms and surveys.
Evaluate and improve your virtual library site. Do so often because the Internet is constant evolving. Keeping your users satisfied means keeping yourself updated on the latest Internet trends and incorporating them into your virtual library site as appropriate.
Invite users to visit your library in person. Make sure your hours and services are posted and highly visible. Hopefully you will find yourself with a few new patrons in the process.

List of Free FTP ServersIn Feburary 2016 27,
In Feburary 2016 27,
Webfreehosting provides an all-encompassing, free package that includes email accounts, web hosting and an FTP service. Account holders get 300MB of storage space, can transfer up to 10GB of files per month, and receive an impressive collection of other options related to website hosting.
DriveHQ
DriveHQ offers online storage and FTP access with a familiar look and feel. Windows users are comfortable with the naming convention of the folders such as 'My Documents,' 'My Music' and 'My Pictures.' While DriveHQ offers a paid subscription, they do include two levels of free service. The first level is called the 'Free Account.' These users are mainly restricted to uploading and downloading files. The 'True Account' is the second level and is attained when the member's information can be verified. The main difference between the two is that 'Free Account' members cannot publish files, folders or a website (publishing shares them out to anyone on the Internet). Both account types have an upload file size limit of 50MB and the ability to transfer files by dragging them from the computer onto the DriveHQ website to transfer them. A traditional FTP access using third-party software is available, although they do recommend using their own software designed for use with their service.
WebNG
WebNG is a feature-rich, one-stop-shop for free web hosting. The features include direct FTP access as well as web-based FTP access (for when an FTP client or program is not available), 350MB of storage space, no ads, photo albums and support, and 323MB of daily bandwidth usage. When transferring files, there is a 25MB file size limit. WebNG also offers an incentive package that increases your usable bandwidth when you refer others to the website.
