Use the WebRequest class, it uses HTTP, just like a web browser would.

I would like to download a text file on a web server,
and use the contents of the file as data input. The file
can theoretically be accessed from internet explorer
using the address http://home.att.net/~rs_abq/GetText.txt

Also, I have not as yet accessed the file using FTP
protocol and feel that the web server doesn't allow this
method for download.

My question is there a .NET class out there that will
download this text file for me ? Please help.

And thank you for your time
