Reading a file from another server

Hi, I would like to read the contents of a file from another server through
asp.net .The file is a text file and i have the url to the file. Since the
file is not on my local machine i can't use the virtual path.

I know this is possible in PHP..but i have not figured out the right class
in ASP.Net

look at the webclient class, not as simple as perl and php, but not hard.
