$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, 'test.zip', 'http://somedomain.com/test.zip', FTP_BINARY);

Is it possible to use FTP to copy a file to the server using a URL? I am able to create the file on my server, however its 0k, is there another function I can use?

Thanks,
Lang

Sorry, I gotta ask why you want to do this though?
Are you trying to rip some ones site because you sux, or is there a reason worth some one helping you?

What type of files, like HTML you can just look at the source and copy it and save it...

Wouldn't it depend on the CHMOD properties of the file on the other server?

It would probably work the same way including a remote file would, wouldn't it? It would depend on permissions.

I don't know.. just a guess, you should just mess around with it and see what you can get.

I assume by PUT you want to copy inforation TO the server.

You'll need to establish a connection first, hence the $conn_id.

Make sure you have a valid account with the proper username and password to login to the server.
