I am currently using a webDav CORS plugin to manage files on a webDav server through POST/PUT/GET/REMOVE/ALLDOCS requests.
Now, I am attempting to achieve the same functionality for FTP but am facing difficulties with the xmlhttprequest syntax (I keep receiving error code 0).
According to this page on Mozilla, it is possible to utilize xmlhttprequests for file transfers and FTP as well. However, I have not been able to locate a functional example or tutorial.
Here is my current attempt, which results in an access to restricted URI denied error:
function reqListener () {
console.log(this.responseText);
}
var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
oReq.onload = reqListener;
oReq.open("GET", "ftp://<username>:<passeword>@mydomain.de/folder/test.txt", true);
oReq.send();
I also tried a standard Ajax request:
$.ajax({
url: "ftp://sharedspace.domain.provider.com/folder/test.txt",
type: "GET",
async: true,
dataType: "text",
crossdomain : true,
headers : {
user: "<username>",
password: "<password>"
},
success: function(e){
console.log("success");
console.log(e);
},
error: function(e){
console.log("error");
console.log(e);
},
});
However, this method also fails and returns a status code of 0.
Question:
What is the correct syntax for performing a cross-domain XMLHTTPREQUEST for transferring files via FTP?
Thank you!

The most helpful resource I encountered was this page here, although it only provides scattered information that I struggled to piece together.
