well, i can't help with most of what you describe, b
ut, there are sites for the upload/ftp sort of stuff
...

http://www.vmu-harddrive.com
offers free private accounts for file storage, as we
ll as a public archive...

http://tools.planetweb.com
offers the ability to ftp game saves into webspace..
.
(though, it is planetweb only, unfortunately, and th
e ftp'd saves can only be downloaded with planetweb
browsers... so, it is of very limited value...)

http://snow.prohosting.com/droleen
offers a great ftp interface to transfer media files
and html files from vmu directly to webspace, with
some very nice features...
this site also has a web-based vmu icon and animatio
n creator, though it is down now, but will hopefully
return eventually... and the creator is very javas
cript-heavy, so, i doubt it works with planetweb, ju
st dreamkey or dreampassport...


and anything i am forgetting can, of course, be foun
d at the dreamcast browsers group...
