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).

You could set up a spare pc as a ftp server, you can do it with Filezylla. Then all you have to do is install the dropbox software and point both dropbox and Filezylla to the same folder
