Copying Files From Server To Server?

[Anon]

Hello everyone, long time since I've posted anything, but here goes:

Is there any way of copying a file (say http://www.myothersite.com/myzip.zip) to location within the site that the PHP file resides?

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it!

Yes, in fact, php supports using http:// as the beginning of a filename with fopen and standard file work.

I.e.:

$fp = fopen("http://server2/path/to/file.html","r");
$file = fread($fp,1000000);
$fp2 = fopen("localfile","w");
fwrite($fp2,$file,strlen($file));
fclose($fp);
fclose($fp2);

Or something like that.
