Re: Reading a file from another server

if I use: readfile("ftp://username:password@server.somedomain.com/test.txt"); It doesn't have any errors and comes up blank. If I put: $result = readfile("ftp://username:password@server.somedomain.com/test.txt"); print ($result); it ends up showing a '0' by iteself. that's it. and I knwo the txt file is full of info. I'm stumped again. Cheers. for your help.
