All is inside the title...
I found this thread:
https://cycling74.com/forums/read-audio-from-the-web
but the only solution proposed in this thread -> mount remote ftp server - doesn't work neither mac or pc
We can't use the jweb solution, is there any other possibility to play mp3 file directly from ftp server thru msp?

sfplay has no native support for mp3 files.
even if they are in front of your nose on desktop
they will get converted to wave or aiff, depending on system,
and then played uncompressed.
and will remain in cache long after you don't need them any more.
