Storing Archive files on a different server

Ok, so here's my dilemma. I have my server running my Drupal instance. It works quite well, I'm happy with it. However, I'm limited to 24GB of disk space. I have another hosting plan, free of charge, on another host that may or may not start with Dr and end with eamhost that provides unlimited disk space.

My question is this: since I don't want to count on that other host for the main site hosting (PHP/MySQL) due to not-the-best reputation for uptime, and my own personal uptime records being pretty decent, I do want to take advantage of the fact that I can store large files there. How would you suggest going about setting up a link between the existing server and the external storage host? Maybe pipe the files over SSH? Will Drupal play nicely with that?

I'm all ears if you have any suggestions.

Excellent, thanks drewish. Setup has changed slightly since posted this, but the idea is the same.
