Hi, there is no direct ftp support in Emby Server. Are you able to mount the ftp to a local folder? If you can do that, then you can import the local folder into Emby Server.

"I added FTP remote directory in File Station." So i can connect this ftp site in DSM File station app. When i wold like to ad app in Emby directory manager i cant see this location.

Did you try entering the path manually? Also have you taken a look at this?

In Synology File Station not listed FTP sites under normal directory listing. Listed under FTP.

When i try to edit library and add directory i can not find FTP sites. How i can set?

(FTP site not listed in Synology Control Panel/Shared Folder)
