You have to use fopen and fputs to copy a remote file:

    function copyFromRemote($remote,$local){
        $fp1 = fopen($remote,"r");
        $fp2 = fopen($local,"w");

        while(!feof($fp1)) {
            $line = fgets($fp1, 1024);
            fputs($fp2,$line,strlen($line));
        } 
    }

I think that would work but i haven't tested it .....

U should use the following for binary files:

$line = fread($fp1,1024);
