Help with VB6

[Emasher]

I've been working on this little chat room applications for school during computer science. Basically it reads a text file where all the posts that have been made are stored and then when you post something it adds it to the text file. I've been using a shared folder for testing this, but I'd like to be using a text file on a server so that this will work over the internet rather than the local network. The problem is, the way you open a text file in VB6 doesn't allow you to open a text file from a url through HTTP. The permissions of the file on the web server aren't the problem. Does anyone know how I can do this.
