Remote File Copy

Question: How can I copy files remotely

Explanation: I have a situation where I want to manage remote files on a remote server from php on my web server.

The purpose is that there is one "master" folder on a remote machine with media files on it. As a user requests those media files via a php page I want to be able to make a copy of the master media file into a new directory for that user. All user folders and media files remain on the same server as the master.

All I can think of to do is to download the "master" file via ftp to my web server the upload them back up to the new directory on that machine. These files are too large for this.

Any help ???

Ever considered using copy()? The name of the function sounds promising at least.

It seems it will only copy a local file to a remote server. I want to copy a file already on the server to a different location.

Thanks
