Upload txt file from website

[sicohne]

I am trying to write a program that will automatically grab a txt file from a website but can't figure out how to code it. Any help?

Short & sweet and (hopefully) nice & simple.

Thanks

Are you trying to grab the text of the web site? A text file on the web server? A text file that's included as part of the web page? "a txt file from a website" isn't specific enough to answer your question.

Sorry, I meant a text file from a web server (i.e.

Http://www.aaa.com/bbb.txt

)

Look up HTTPWebRequest and HTTPWebResponse in Help for an example.

Thanks Craig for point me in the write direction there. Now I have a new (related) problem.
The following code....
-------
Dim proxyObject As WebProxy = New WebProxy(ProxyAddress)
GlobalProxySelection.Select = proxyObject
Dim myClient As WebClient = New WebClient
myClient.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(UserName, Password)
myClient.DownloadFile("

http://www.aaa.com/bbb.txt",

"G:\My documents\bbb.txt")
--------
brings up the following error:
"The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server.
