You won't connect to remote data base via FTP. FTP works on a file basis, not records.

Doing it via HTTP depends on whether the host has made the facility available. Normally you send a request to the server. The server process the request and sends the data back to you in an HTML page.

Speak to whoever hots the database server, they will give you all the information you need.
