    I suppose it depends on the where the servers are (same network or not), and whether the machines have access to each other's drives.

    Assuming the servers are in different networks, I'd tackle this with FTP on the FMS side, and an app server (like php or asp) on the http side. I'd set up an FTP account on the FMS server (giving that account access to the FMS/app/streams directory, and then make an FTP connection to the FMS server ( through php) to grab the file

    I think its a firewall problem, go to your firewall settings and open port 1935 to give access to your application.
