Note Submitter: Sulo ---- Hi all. I'm from Slovakia. I've made this script for downloading files from remote server to the local server: <?php /* PASSWORD */ $good_passw = "your_passw"; /* LOCAL DIRECTORY */ $dir = "../dwnl/"; if (isset($_REQUEST['remote_file']) && isset($_REQUEST['passw'])) { if (strpos($_REQUEST['remote_file'],"://") === false) die("Bad file!"); if ($_REQUEST['passw'] != $good_passw) die("Bad password!"); copy($_REQUEST['remote_file'], $dir.basename($_REQUEST['remote_file'])); die("OK."); } ?> <form name="dwnl" action="d.php" method="post" target="_blank"> <input type="text" name="remote_file"/> <input type="password" name="passw"/> <input type="submit" value="[OK]"/> </form> PHP doesn't check max. script execution time while executing the copy() function. So you can use it at any server, even if you don't have permission to change max. script execution time. Closing the browser window doesn't cause script execution end. But there's also some problem. When copying big files (e.g. 2.5 GB), this script ends and prints 'OK', even if only 9MB of file were copied.
