[HELP] Open and save txt file to the internet.

[w00pz]

Hello guys,
I need some help.
How would I make this to be able to open a txt file from a webserver and then allow me to edit the file and save it on the webserver?

Here is a screenshot of my form:

Here is my current code: (Click to View)

Code:

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog()
  Dim myStreamReader As System.IO.StreamReader
  Open.Filter = "Text Files [*.txt*]|*.txt|All Files [*.*]|*.*"
  Open.CheckFileExists = True
  Open.Title = "Open"
  Open.ShowDialog(Me)

  Try
    Open.OpenFile()
    myStreamReader = System.IO.File.OpenText(Open.FileName)
    TextBox1.Text = myStreamReader.ReadToEnd()
  Catch ex As Exception

  End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
  Dim Save As New SaveFileDialog()
  Dim myStreamWriter As System.IO.StreamWriter
  Save.Filter = "Text Files [*.txt*]|*.txt|All Files [*.*]|*.*"
  Save.CheckPathExists = True
  Save.Title = "Save"
  Save.ShowDialog(Me)

  Try
    myStreamWriter = System.IO.File.AppendText(Save.FileName)
    myStreamWriter.Write(TextBox1.Text)
    myStreamWriter.Flush()
  Catch ex As Exception

  End Try
    End Sub
End Class

There are different ways that you can accomplish this. None though without some back end help. I would suggest posting data to a php page if you have php installed on your server, and having the php script save the data for you. If you want to go that route let me know and I can help you out with the PHP.

Here is a link using Webclient and ASP.

You could also FTP through Vb.Net but that'd be a bit more complicated.

I dont understand exactly what you mean, PM me and i might be able to help.

You should post your solution so anybody searching the forums later may benefit from it.
