FTP Download

Hi all,
I have a trivial problem but I couldn't solve it :(

I'm working in a web site (.net C#) and there's
a link which supposed to download a file from
ftp account directly.

The account information( for example) :

URL: ftp2.Sitename.com
Username: user
Password: pass

First I made direct links to the files in the code
but it gave me
(page cann't be displayed)
and if I typed the full link directly in the explorer
It doesn't even ask me for the login information !

Does anyone know how can I provide the account information
and the file link through code ?

Thnx in advance

i don't know if the following code can help you

        public void Download(string uri, string fileName, FtpDataMode mode)
        {
            try
            {
                FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);

                FtpWebRequest ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(uri));
                ftpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
                ftpRequest.KeepAlive = false;
                ftpRequest.UseBinary = mode == FtpDataMode.Binary;
                ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;

                FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();
                Stream ftpStream = response.GetResponseStream();
                long contentLength = response.ContentLength;
                int bufferSize = 2048;
                int readCount;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];

                readCount = ftpStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
                while (readCount > 0)
                {
                    fileStream.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
                    readCount = ftpStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
                }
                ftpStream.Close();
                fileStream.Close();
                response.Close();
            }
            catch (FtpException)
            {
                throw;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new FtpException(FtpException.EXCEPTION_TEXT, ex);
            }
        }
