transfer files in windows forms

I have a couple of text files and I want to display its content in a textbox, but the files are in a different machine

What would be the easiest way to do that, the files are small and the content would be displayed as it is in the file

I thought about a web service but it might be just too much for a couple of 10K files

Then I thought maybe remoting, but since I have never used it I have no idea if its the way to go and how complicated it is to use

Or maybe sockets

Thanks in advance

    If you can "see" the other machine from the current one using a UNC path, then you don't need any of these--simply use the UNC path name. If not, I'm guessing Sockets would be the most efficient, and the most effort. Remoting would be good, but it's a bit of effort to set up and use. Web Services are the simplest, and the slowest at runtime, in general.
