Author VB to link with database on FTP

Can anyone help me with linking this Jet database file(Access) on a FTP

Server to my VB Application using ADO. It would be nice if someone just

gives me a sample code for this.

Can also this be done using a .udl file?


Please help...

Can't do that using FTP. Is the FTP Server available as a share on the client PC?
FTP is not a supported protocol for database access.

You can check out Connection Strings at:

ADO Connection Strings (Carl Prothman):
http://www.carlprothman.net/Default.aspx?tabid=81

You should find some connection strings there to show how to connection to a
network share...
