Hi.

Is there a way to retrieve the contents of a text file on a FTP server using prontoscript? I would usually use AJAX/ActiveX to do it with Javascript from a web browser. I can connect and log into the FTP server from the pronto but can't figure out how to pull the contents of TXT files stored there.

I'm trying to create a weather module that pulls the latest text forecasts from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, which are available free via anonymous FTP ([Link: ftp2.bom.gov.au]). Getting the forecast charts works fine, but I'd like to get the full text too.
