Reading and writing a txt on ftp.

Hi
I was wondering if it was possible to read/ write on a txt on a server?
So I can open a txt thats located on for example http://www.internet.com/text.txt
And I want to be able to save changes made to the file. I guess FTP is the way of doing this?
Anyone that can help me out?

FTP may not be the only way to achieve your goal but it is certainly one way to do it (assuming the server supports FTP). And fortunately, it's not very difficult to write although it may be a little on the time-consuming side.

One can find the requisite information here ...

On the other hand, it may not be necessary to write your own .... I seem to recall that Windows comes with an underlying FTP client, or I would imagine one might find FTP shareware for almost-nada, or yet another option: http://ipswitch.com/.

If you do decide to write your own, it seems likely to me that you'd be able to get away with writing a subset of the full FTP. Your stated goals seem pretty modest.

To connect to the FTP server we can use the FtpWebRequest C# object under the System.Net namespace. The object is created with the FtpWebRequest.Create() function. Note that the function will ask for a URL to connect to, the format to write the url is: [FTP Address] + "/" + [Filename of file to upload].
