I’m not a 100% sure that this is the right forum, but here it goes anyway:

I need to upload a wordpad, .doc document to my ftp and be able to view it without downloading it. In other words, have it not prompt to download. Like when you view a .doc attachment in gmail for example.

I have no idea how to do this whatsoever. But I figured it would probably be fairly simple. Thanks =).
