downloading a file from internet

[DBC User]

I am planning to stage couple small text files in one of my personal
web site. Which is running in linux. I writing a .net app, I want to
download and see the content inside. Could someone tell me what do I
need to know and setup so that my app can get the files without any
problem??

Thanks a lot.

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
byte[] b = wc.DownloadData(urlToYourResource);
wc.Dispose();
string strContent =
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(b);

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the help. One quick question, do I need to setup anything on
my server so that anyone read this file?
Thanks again.

With .NET 2.0, you can also use DownloadString():

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
string content = wc.DownloadString(url);

No, you do not need to setup anything on the your server.
