It seems that seeking on a NetworkStream created by WebClient.OpenRead to
read a file over FTP is not supported. I read through the FtpControlStream
and FtpDataStream classes to verify this.

I would recommend that support for seeking be added.

It can be implemented by sending the REST FTP command which is the FTP
equivalent command for seek. Note that servers are not required to support
this command but when they do, it should be available.
