My local ISP has great deals on personal web space and usually users use it to host their websites , but the ISP also states you can host a database on it. Now thus far i can connect to a accdb File locally on my HDD but how would the connection string look like if in wish to access the file on ftp-like web server? If would receive ip address and login credentials from my isp.

C#

string sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OlEDB.12.0;DataSource =...";

C#

oleDbConnection cnMyConnection = new oleDbConnection(sConnectionString);

Thank you for your time.
