text document to web content

[roisen.dubh]

I'm looking for a way that my website can read a text file from a ftp server, and update itself whenever there is a change.
This is the site that will be updated with the retreived text file: http://www.muscatine.k12.ia.us/mhs/Electrathon/home.html
The text file will be located on my friends personal ftp server.
I would like to keep the same format for the body text if possible.
Thanks in advance for any help.

What does this have to do with XML? I'm confused as to how we're supposed to help you.

How do you want to include the file? Server-side, client-side?

Looks like you want a server-side solution. Unless you want the browser to contact that text file every time the page is loaded, XML Technologies such as RSS are not the answer. (note that XML is in the "client side development" forum subset, this is for a reason!).

You're probaly after PHP or ASP, depending on the server.
