Can I read a text file that resides on another DASP site?

I want to be able to read a file from within one of my pages - the file is in a folder on a different site that is also hosted by DASP.
Is this possible? If so, can someone please post sample code for it? I use VB.net.

 

Note: I have found code for FTP to another site to grab a folder, but I keep getting error 530 - not logged in. See the code here:
'Values to use

Const localFile As String = "C:\look.com"

Const remoteFile As String = "/GPC/test_user_file.csv"

Const host As String = "ftp://ftp.testsite.web110.discountasp.net/"

Const username As String = "username"

Const password As String = "pwd"



'Create a request

Dim URI As String = host & remoteFile

Dim ftp As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = CType(System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Create(URI), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)

'Set the credentials

ftp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password)

'Turn off KeepAlive (will close connection on completion)

ftp.KeepAlive = False

'we want a binary

ftp.UseBinary = True

'Define the action required (in this case, download a file)

ftp.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile



'If we were using a method that uploads data e.g. UploadFile

'we would open the ftp.GetRequestStream here an send the data



'Get the response to the Ftp request and the associated stream

'******* THIS NEXT LINE GETS THE 530-Not logged In error!

Using response As System.Net.FtpWebResponse = CType(ftp.GetResponse, System.Net.FtpWebResponse)

Using responseStream As IO.Stream = response.GetResponseStream

'loop to read & write to file

Using fs As New IO.FileStream(localFile, IO.FileMode.Create)

Dim buffer(2047) As Byte

Dim read As Integer = 0

Do

read = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)

fs.Write(buffer, 0, read)

Loop Until read = 0 'see Note(1)

responseStream.Close()

fs.Flush()

fs.Close()

End Using

responseStream.Close()

End Using

response.Close()

End Using

 

Hey! It works! Good stuff. I had the wrong password (duh). I have about 12 DASP sites and I had mixed up the passwords

 

Good deal, glad it's working for you.
