Uploading direct to Dropbox server via FTP

Is it possible to attain a server address in order to make a very large upload via FTP (40gb+)? Thanks,
Sync

    No, I'm afraid Dropbox does not support FTP or any method of uploading data other than via the clients, the website or the API (over HTTP/HTTPS).

John, Dropbox upload is more reliable and often faster than FTP because DB uploads in 5MB chunks and if an upload is interupted only the last chunk is repeated whereas with FTP it usually has to start over.
