FTP Help!

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. If it is not please tell me and I will move it to a more suitable location.

I am setting up a website and I have uploaded all the html, images, sounds, etc to a web hosting service. Right, now I am going to put video clips on this site in the form of .flv which will be streamed through flash. I want to upload these video files to an ftp server and then link to them through html.

All I need to know is how do you link to files which are located on an ftp server??

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Graeme.

Is this ftp server different than your hosing account?

FTP is simpliy a protocol and is the most common way of uploading/downloading files. If the ftp server in question is the same as your hosting account then you would link them just like any other file.

The acutal HTML code to use to stream a flash document im unfimular since I have never worked with flash.

I also moved this to the Web Deisgn forum as I think it will get more attention there as opposed to the ded server forum.
