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).

I think the issue is more of access to the correct protocols.  For example, I have a Foscam camera which can do uploads of snapshots but it only supports FTP. It would be great to be able to point it at my DropBox account, but clearly that's not possible at this point.

Regarding the FOSCAM camera, I also have these. I am using a program called ContaCam to locally monitor several FOSCAM cameras and perform the motion detection. The files are saved locally on the computer. You can set up the local folder to be your Dropbox location. ContaCam does not require a lot of resources, so if you have an old computer or laptop it will work well. I like the motion detection control options on ContaCam a lot better than FOSCAM's default software.
