If you are using WsFTP or WSFTP Pro you can do this right in the program.<br />
<br />
Connect and right-click on the file and choose edit. &nbsp;A notepad window will open up and you can edit from there. &nbsp;When you close the window, you will be asked if you want to save the changes. &nbsp;When you say yes, your file is altered.<br />
<br />
Hope This Helps.

Oh, I forgot: you could &quot;abuse&quot; a guestbook cgi script to add some lines of text for a new news message to txt file with the messages that already exist. <br />
<br />
But doing so you could not &quot;remove&quot; a news message, you could only add them. <br />
<br />
If you are familiar with ínstalling cgi scripts I would recomend using the fileman script. <br />

On my FrontPage web site, I have a java applet that reads a text file and then displays the text in a &quot;news scroller&quot; type of way. &nbsp;Is there a way of updating/editing that text file (.txt) from the Internet without having to FTP or publish it from FrontPage? &nbsp;Can this be done from a web form or a java script or something like that?

edit a text file on the internet

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.
