I am planning to stage couple small text files in one of my personal
web site. Which is running in linux. I writing a .net app, I want to
download and see the content inside. Could someone tell me what do I
need to know and setup so that my app can get the files without any
problem??

Thanks a lot.

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
byte[] b = wc.DownloadData(urlToYourResource);
wc.Dispose();
string strContent =
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(b);

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the help. One quick question, do I need to setup anything on
my server so that anyone read this file?
Thanks again.

No, you do not need to setup anything on the your server.

With .NET 2.0, you can also use DownloadString():

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
string content = wc.DownloadString(url);
