I've searched for this extensively however all I can find are examples of FTP and uploading files to FTP i.e the most common example being this one - http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/FTP

I've tried to adapt this example/code out to suit my needs but without any luck - it's a little bit beyond me especially as it's written to read from SD and post to FTP.

What im trying to do is read the following XML file to then (later) parse the weather forecast data I'm after:
ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDN11060.xml

Can anyone help or point me in the right of simply being able to read the XML file from the above FTP please?

Thanks

Hi martinayotte, thanks for posting but that's not what I'm looking for

I don't want my ESP to be the FTP server, I want it to be the client and access the file from another FTP server.
