Stream multimedia files from FTP server

I can do this using CX Explorer but with Total Commander i have to pull the whole file to local storage before i can play it.

Currently streaming isn't supported with the FTP plugin because FTP does not support multiple concurrent file transfers per connection. Other plugins like WebDAV or the cloud plugins (which use https) support streaming.

WebDAV is what is called Wifi Transfer inside app?

It's different. I will need to see how that works. Thx again for assisstance.
