I have no clue if this is possible, but lets say thers a file on a secure sever somewhere named with an obscure file name. Is there a way to write a script that fetches the file, but names it something else when it gives it to the user? I know I can just copy the file with a new name and then send the user that file, but if the file is really big in file size- this could be very inefficient.

Thanks

Hi,
you can try with header() :

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fname\"");
header ("Content-type: application/zip");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
$data = fread(fopen($fname, "rb"), filesize("$fname"));
echo $data;

But this is not always fine handled, depending on the browser...
