Hello!

I'm making a interface in a website do manage files in a ftp hosted on other server.

I'm using the function ftp_get() to download a file but I've tried different aways but I dosent seem do be able to download the file directly from the FTP server do the user the only way it works is if I download the file to the website server first then to the client.

Is there any way that I can download the file directly to the user without have to hosting it permanently on the website server?

Thank you

The content will have to come from your server, so the file has to reside on your server. However, you can always unlink() it when you're done with it.
