Guys,

i had a web host that was a reseller, they went under and thier
servers taken back by the company who sold them the space, there was
no warning for this happening at all.  now the new company wants to
charge me $20 to get my files back....  is this even legal to do? all
files on my account were written by me therefore they are my property.
 I mean this sounds to me the equivilence to walking into thier
datacenter taking one of thier servers then saying hah you want it you
have to pay me to get it back.

what steps should i take in this situation?  I have contacted support
and they continue to say they are going to charge me now way around
it, because thier tech has to run a tar command and email me the
files, which on a properly setup linux box could probably all be done
on one line.
