Yes, you can use a service like dynip, that does work nicely, but you
need to be sure you're running the dynip client on the machine that
has the ftp server, so that everytime the ip changes, the dynip
client will update the information in dynip's database, so folks can
still reach you.
I've used it before, it works a treat, and certainly is cheaper than
paying for a static ip from your provider in most cases.
And, they do have an osx client, so you should be in good shape.

Wouldn't folks such as DynDns solve the static IP problem if one
had a registered domain?
Thanks all over the place.

Subject: Re: SFT question.
Remember that when you connect to your machine, you need to use
the ip address the router has, not the gnat address your machine
has. I.E. if your router had the ip address of 205.230.11.5,
then you would need to sftp to that ip address, and then that
router would need to port forward the sftp ports onto the
192.168.2.15 ip inside the network, since that is not a valid ip
address outside of your local network.
If you don't have a static ip on your router, then you'll need to
look it up everytime someone wants to connect to you.
This gets quite problematic as you can imagine, which is usually
why folks who run servers have static ips on their devices that
are sitting between them and the outside, to facilitate this sort
of activity.
