Connect to web database - Microsoft Access / VBA

How can I connect to my online database? I have all the paths etc... I
can't even think where to begin, what would be great would be a front end on
my PC connected via ftp to my backend at my ISP.

Or is this just ridiculous and impossible??

FTP -- File Transfer Program is for transferring files (that is, uploading
to a website or downloading from a website), and it does that very well. It
has no provision for connecting your front-end database to a back-end
database at the website.

Unless you have some very exceptional, very, very high-speed connections, it
is not feasible to use a split Access database across the Internet.

There are a number of ways to use that database, but your Access front-end
isn't one of them.
