I have an activeX Control which is downloading some files from an FTPS server. Now I want to change the protocol to HTTPS .
Is there some way to access an ftp folder like https://192.0.0.0/filename.xml
where 192.0.0.0
is the ftp host name?

Many HTTP proxy servers let you request FTP resource via them. So if you can route the request to the proxy, you can ask it to retrieve the file from FTP URL for you. Otherwise no, you would have to run (and properly configure) an HTTP server on the system where the file resides.
