HTTP copy file from another server

[Giro]

Hello,

Maybe someone has already written about this but I couldnt find anything on the forum that would help me.

I need to make a php script which copies a ZIP file from another http server to my server.
It is a http server, not a Ftp, which makes it more difficult and it has an authorisation request. (I have the username and password).

the address of the remote file is like
http://something.com/file.zip

I tried to make some code with fsockopen but i couldnt make it work.

Please give me some hints where to look, or if you have some example code.

Thanks a lot
Giro

If you have curl enabled, these examples should give you plenty to work with.

Thx

it works perfect with CURL

but if someone has an example with fsockopen that might be useful too, for people who doesnt have Curl installed on their servers.
