Copy file from remote Server to another Remote Server

[adhossain]

I want to use a php script so that when I access the page, the browser copy the file from server to another server. Say, a file is in www.google.com/file.exe and when I open the page, the file will be copied to www.myserver.com/download location. pls tell me indetails coz I know only a little about PHP.Thanks

You can use file_get_contents() to get a remote file then you can use file_put_contents() to write to second server where the script will run. Second server must have url file open option in php.ini on

If file_put_contents is not an option then you can also use the FTP functions. http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ftp.php

I haven't actually tried this, but I believe you should be able to do things with just copy(), like:

copy('http://www.google.com/file.exe', 'ftp://user:pass@www.myserver.com/download/file.exe');

(assuming "user" and "pass" are adjusted to your actual credentials for your FTP server that should be running on www.myserver.com)
