Thank you for reminding me, I forgot I had bookmarked this page which is 
a huge list of free / cheap file transfer services:

I'm guessing in Ann's case, the printer / publisher already has an FTP 
server, and she just needs to upload to their server.

I strongly urge using a different password for FTP, do not use one of 
your "standard" passwords that you use to access sensitive information.  
FTP passes all information "in the clear" including user / password it 
is ridiculously easy to intercept it.  It is much more secure to use 
SFTP, file transfer through SSH2, HTTP over SSL, or at the very least a 
VPN from your computer to the site with the server, but I imagine those 
options are not often available.

I have found an excellent free SFTP client for Windows which also 
supports normal FTP:
