You need to use the WinINet WIN32 API to do that. There are a lot of open source clients avaliable which can do the job for you.

The FTP Protocol does not have the capabilities to serve the information you require.  At best it will allow you to see Name, Size, Attributes/Permissions.  You would need to download the file to the local filesystem then use FileVersionInfo from there.

In .NET 2.0 you can use the HttpWebRequest methods to make downloading possible then use the FileVersionInfo class to extract the information you require.  If you are targetting the .NET1.x framework then you need to do some sockets programming to allow you to download via FTP.
