to edit a .txt file on a server

Hello folks,

To save or delete strings in a textfile which is on my HD is no
problem but I have no clue how to do it with a text file
that is on another server.
Do I need to use a URL and save in into a read/write stream?

Thanks,
Alex.

You need some assistance from the server. Ideally a Servlet that runs
on the server to do it for you when asked, that tries until the file
is not busy, copying to a new file then renaming.

see http://mindprod.com/fileio.html for how to do the fileio.
