Use the ftp functions. Thanks for the tip. I have revised my code to: // define some variables $local_file = "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/test/$id/beamdata.tar"; $server_file = "http://192.168.10.63/test/$id/beamdata.tar"; // set up basic connection $ftp_server="http://192.168.10.63"; $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); // login with username and password $ftp_user_name="apache"; $ftp_user_pass="xxxxx"; $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); // try to download $server_file and save to $local_file if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) { echo "Successfully written to $local_file\n"; } else { echo "There was a problem\n"; } // close the connection ftp_close($conn_id); I have put this snippet in the local server of where I want the files to be copied to. However, I see this on my remote server in the logs: 192.168.10.62 - - [16/Jul/2008:16:40:24 -0400] "GET /beam_calculation.php?id=145&no=16 HTTP/1.1" 200 22 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)" Is there something I have missed here?
