ToonMariner Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 You can't write a script that sits on the server and forces a download to the client!!!! It would be a very dangerous world if that were common place.The best you could do is e-mail the file as an attachment. At least you can do that in a cron job and still not have to worry about the destination machine being on or not.

kenrbnsn Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Do you have permission to get the file? Do you always know the file's name? Or at least part of the name? If so, look at the [a href=\"http://www.php.net/ftp\" target=\"_blank\"]ftp functions[/a].Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5059-getfile/#findComment-18700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prismatic Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 [code]$conn_id = ftp_connect("***.***.**.***");[/code]the IP is a string, so treat it as such and put quotes around it.
