Your code DOESN'T actually work. I can see this by inspection.

Did you write it yourself or just "get it" from someone? Did you even run it yet?

 

[rcep]

yes it works
i use it to copy a certain file on a server into mine
i just enter the URL and new name on my server it words so smoothly
BUT i want a way to do the same thing for password protected files top move them to my server

any ideas

Hi,

The script looks like it will work to me. I'd suggest putting quotes round your array keys for future compatibility.

To copy a page which requires http authentication, you can use the following in your "from" input:

http://user:[email protected]

If the page you are copying from is cookie or session protected, then I think you'll have to use something much more complicated.

This script steals peoples files? and you want it to steal peoples password protected files?

Am I right?

 

[rcep]

well Morph not exactly :D
want to use it instead of downloading a database and reupload i'll just move it online because if slow down/upload speed i got

rcep, that code doesn't work. I guarantee it. Look for syntax errors. You'll find a dozen.

Well at least you fixed your epic syntax errors on your original post:

Now the question is, why are you wanting to copy files like this, and why password-protected files? What form of authentication protects the files?

Also, did you notice there's some huge and obvious security flaws in your script?

I guess the pages you want to copy are not http password protected. What form of password protection do they use? If they are cookie or session protected, then you'll need something more complicated. It is possible to support cookies with http wrappers, but not obvious. Using libcurl might be a better choice if you need to take this route.

Its normal http authentication no sessions for such files
