Is it possible to create a text file on a web server? I heard that
this may not be possible. Then I heard there is XML files. Basically I
want to enter various options on a web page and then read this data
remotely from my vb.net program. I can read a text file from a server
ok but I don't know if it is possible to create one in teh first
place. I just uploaded it for a test of course.

K,

It should be possible , if your server process has the apropriate rights
 
Why not, for sure you can do it, on the serverside an ASP.Net application is
the same as a console, windowsservice or a windowsform application.

Hi,
If your server allows you to have "write" permission, then you should
be able to. You can also upload a local files using webClient class
(system.net.webclient) to remote server.

Thanks,

.... or via FTP too (which is supported since .NET 2.0).

Hi, and yes, FTP protocol is also supported. And as plus,
"my.computer.network.uploadfile" method is a fresh alternative.

Thanks,
