    Here is how I have done this, I just used the html viewer that is provided by the Microsoft to view and render the text from any ftp site on an runtime, it just too simple if you are using HTML viewer for you site , here is how you can do it , you need to manually select the copy and then and the nuse the by default command like cut , copy and pste to get that on the page that you like so that you can eidit it ,keep it simple.

    I think the query that you have asked here could be treated in three different way , namely depending on the operating system that you are targeting , here is what matter a lot , as I am not a Linux user , so I don ‘t have any idea about using that on Linux , but using that with Windows you can use HTTP Socket , which works best for the purpose , while if you are a Mac user , you can use the curl utility which is off course the best .

    I think this is just another case that the coder s normally face when they get started with working of the ftp site, I have been using an FTP kit since a long time and I I just love it, it made by some company which is not good, as this is a third party application we just cannot completely reply on it so just make your choice and move on , I mean some time good to use it and you can save lot of your time .

    But how would I use HTTP Socket for FTP? I indicate, wouldn't that be the incorrect protocol. That just did not worked for me, I would really like to have this one on my laptop but I experimented a bit with FTPKit and originate it very attractive. Clean and easy to get happening with. So far have continued absent from plug-in (in order to diminish dependencies) but this single is attractive.
