read ini settings from online?

[sumkid]

Can i make autoit read settings from an online file? say i have a ftp server and upload an ini file to it with settings. can it read those settings while its online?

I was hoping to do this with something like iniread() or something similar if possible?

thanks in advance =)

InetGet() and IniRead() and download the file every time you start the program or you could use _IE functions.

ok, tried something like this

$Getit = InetGet ( "http://www.mywebserver.com/settings/settings.ini", "settings.ini" )

While 1
Sleep (10000)
IniRead ( $Getit, "settings", "Option1", 1 )
Sleep (35000)
WEnd

im not getting anything?

I am trying to get it to do a msgbox from the web server that i posted in the ini.

I think you need to move the InetGet statement inside the While loop. That way it will download a fresh copy each time.
