No way at all, I'm afraid. FTP servers are simply not capable of initiating contact with and communicating with client systems.

My problem is ,

I've a Video file with 7MP file size. That file should be play while the website is loading. I put the Video file at my FTP, But it's a time consuming fact in the Page Loading. That's why I need to access the Video file from WebSite Administrator System. Is there any possibilities to make this.

Hi,

Based on my understanding, you want to access the file that exists in remote FTP server from your ASP.NET website, right?

If so, we can use FtpWebRequest class (http://wiki.asp.net/page.aspx/283/ftpwebrequest/) to download this file from FTP server and then send it to client.

To display this flash while page is loading, we can use Div tags to contain flash, and use JavaScript to change its display attribute to none while page is loaded.

For example, see

<body onload="document.getElementById('flashContainer').style.display = 'none';">

<div id="flashContainer" style="display:block">Play Flash. . .</div>

I look forward to hearing from you.
