Download file to server

[satal keto]

I have been trying to find out how to get a PHP script to download a file from another server (via HTTP not FTP) and save it to the server that is running the PHP script.

 

I have been able to find out how to upload a file from say my computer and how to download a file from the server to my computer but not from one server to another.

 

I was wondering whether anyone has any ideas on how I would be able to do this or somewhere which has information which would help me to figure this out

 

Thanks for any help in advance

What type of files are we talking about?

 

Because if it happens to be either images or text there is specific ways of dealing with exactly those to types of files which wont work for copying files generally

no not images or txt files.

Zip files rar files exe files really

If your on Linux one way would be to use wget. eg;

 

<?php

  exec('wget http://domain.com/file.rar');

?>
