Eric,

The easy was is to use Mathematica's built-in ftp capability.

The harder way is to use Mathematica's built-in Java capability, and then
use Java to get whatever you need from the web.

Subject: [mg98802] [mg98789] Load .m file from a web server

Hi all,
	I wish to place a .m package on a web server and have many  
mathematica sessions download and use this package.  However, I can  
not find a way to get this to happen--typing "download" into the help  
menu does not give me the answer.
	I could probably use curl to download and then load, but is there a

Mathematica way (i.e. cross-platform) to do this?
Thanks,
Eric
