Download using FTP functions

[jaddy]

Hi all.

Can somebody tell me how to copy a file from a server and place it to the client machine using FTP functions.

The ftp function of php "ftp_get()" does not really get the file from a server and put to the client machine. What it actually does is open an ftp connection and the file you want to copy from the server will be placed in the current directory of the server where the script resides instead of the client machine drive.

Let's consider that the client's OS would be Windows.

Thx.

Humm, if you are to use FTP functions in order to place a file on a remote machine, then the remote machine MUST have a FTP server. Simple, no ?

Perhaps I dont understand your question ?

That remote machine does have FTP server. What I need is a technique for downloading files using on of the FTP functions in PHP.

The ftp_get() function do not achieve this as it moves files from the remote server to the current server my application on (Server-to-Server).

I need to download files simply to my local PC (I am using Windows XP as OS).

Thank you
