Is it possible to do it from within Visual Basic to open and read
(not
transfer) a file on another PC over Internet just like it would with
local
files?


I have went through FTP but instead of transferring back the file and
open
it locally, I would prefer to open it remotely, over a constant/
broadband
connection.
