File access on server

[Guest]

I want to read the content of a text file on a server using an ASP.NET
script. Something like this:

My script is on www.whatever.com/readfile.aspx
The file I what to read is on www.somethingelse.net/File.txt

Of course I can’t use any File system functions like File.OpenText(…)
because my script has no access to the other servers file system. However, I
know that there is a way of getting the file content. I just don’t know how.
Any hint would be appreciated.

So you're saying that your only access to these other resources is via HTTP?
You can use the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes for this.
