[Anon]

hi everyone

i have a question

it is as follows

can a script be written such that when that script is executed on a web server is capable of downloading a file from a remote server (either ftp or http) and save it in the web server

the url will be specified by a user who access the script through http (in his browser)

hope i get a reply soon

bye bye

You can do this a couple ways, but I would be careful with this.

Are we talking a binary or text file?

if you are doing a text file, I would just use file("$url"), that will put the html/txt file into an array by line.

If you need to do a binary I would look at fopen().
