Why in particular through FTP? Then you have to faff with passwords, permissions, etc.
Instead, just provide a clickable link to the file, and allow the users browser to handle the download. Easier for you, and more what the user is used to, as well.

Good point - a 5. In other words, HTTP instead of FTP.

As far as I understand your question, you want to provide your website as demo. In this case you will provide a link in your website and once it is clicked a download through FTP will be started.

If this is so then you can zip your complete website so that it can be downloaded at once and to encorporate FTP consult the following article:
An FTP client library for .NET 2.0[^]

Or for a complete list of other articles on the same use the following:

For this I need more clarification:

1. The trial period will expire on the basis of first log in or it will expire on the basis of first download.

2. How many times a user can download the file.

In either case, you need to keep the information of either log in or first download. Then a check is maintained that if the current log in subtracts 20 days is equal the to the first logged in or first download, set link.visible = false;
