Stream file rather than downloading

ES File Explorer on Android has a useful feature. When you connect to a remote server (SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, etc.) and open a file, it serves the file via a built-in web server, which allows the opening application to read only the parts of the file that it needs to. This allows skipping around without media files or extracting a specific file from a large archive without downloading the whole file.

I wish I could do this on Windows as well.

Thanks for your suggestion.
Will see if more people ask for this.

What do you mean by "FileStreams"? Are you sure you want the same, what this topic is about?

I would like such a feature to stream videos over FTP from my NAS. Entering each video URL into VLS is very inconvenient compared to double clicking in WinSCP.
