ober Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 No. move_uploaded_file() is a local function only. Can you imagine the security risk if I could pluck random files off of your website and move them to mine??

ober Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yes, but you don't use move_uploaded_file() with the FTP functions. Look up FTP on php.net Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7875-downloading-a-file/#findComment-28725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
