Re: scroller from ftp source

I've seen several scrolling text boxes that display text from a file. My
problem is getting the file from the ftp source.
For example,

<p align="center"><font color="#FFFF00" size="4"
face="Comic Sans MS"><br>
Current Weather Warnings</font><font face="Comic Sans MS"><br>
</font><!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan --><APPLET
CODE="ScrollItUp.class" ARCHIVE="ScrollItUp.jar" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="80">
 <PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="668899">
 <PARAM NAME="outlinecolor" VALUE="000000">
 <PARAM NAME="scrollbgcolor" VALUE="ff0000">
 <PARAM NAME="fontcolor" VALUE="ffffff">
 <PARAM NAME="hovercolor" VALUE="00ff00">
 <PARAM NAME="linkcolor" VALUE="000000">
 <PARAM NAME="fontface" VALUE="arial">
 <PARAM NAME="fontstyle" VALUE="plain">
 <PARAM NAME="fontbold" VALUE="on">
 <PARAM NAME="fontsize" VALUE="14">
 <PARAM NAME="textfile" VALUE="summary.txt">
 <PARAM NAME="brakes" VALUE="50">
 <PARAM NAME="margin" VALUE="5">
</APPLET><!--webbot
bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan --><font face="Comic Sans MS"><br>
</font><font color="#FFFF80" size="2" face="Comic Sans MS"><em>Updated
As Conditions Warrant</em><br>
</font><font face="Comic Sans MS"><br>
<br>

This uses a file summary.txt. I want to use the ftp link instead. I'm also
not fond of having to use a .jar file. I just want to load the text from
the ftp source and scroll it in a box on my web page.

THANKS!
