No. Dir root needs to be a file path, it is not a URL.

And there's a typo (its not ==)

You can however mount a filesystem and then specify the file path to the mounted file system.

The default content store won't work over FTP. If you want to use remote storage then you'll need to mount the storage locally - for example, on linux you could mount remote storage over CIFS (SMB), then you'll be able to refer to that storage in the properties file, e.g.

dir.root=/mnt/alfcontent
