Are you using a URL connection? Check out java.net.URL and
java.net.HttpURLConnection. URL should work fine - I use it to grab a file
off of a server in an applet I wrote.
Here's a code snippet that should work:
import java.net.*;
URL myFlatFile = new URL ("http://www.myFlatFileSite.com:8080";,
"myFlatFile");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (
new InputStreamReader (myFlatFile.openStream
()));
String tmp = "";
while ((tmp = in.readLine ()) != null) {
// do stuff with tmp - it's the flat file being
// read in line by line..
}
