I would like to create a program that can read from a text file stored
online, modify an html file according to the info found in the text file,
then upload the html file via FTP to my webspace provider. I am not allowed
to use cgi scripts so I think I have to have a program that can run from my
computer. I am familiar with c++, but only with an itermediate level of
knowledge. I usually use Borland C++ Builder to write my programs, so if
anyone knows of any components I could download for free that would
accomplish what I'm trying to do, that would be very helpful. Otherwise, any
help you can provide is welcome, as I haven't the slightest clue on how to
get started on something like this.

Please email any suggestions you may have to bjserink@home.com
Thanks for you time.

I think you're definitely going to want to ask this question in a 
newsgroup that more reflects your goals.  Specifically, something about 
C++ on the OS platform for which you'll be developing.  C++, as well as 
C, do no provide any I/O capabilities in the language.  These features 
are platform/implementation specific.

I just recently completed an extension program to the apc-upsd UPS 
monitor program for UNIX and found the folks in comp.unix.programmer to 
be quite helpful and knowledgable.
