Remote Downloading / Cron Job

[DannyLove]

Hello,
I'm looking for a php script that when called from a cron job, connects to an FTP game server, downloads a specific file and uploads it to a web ftp server.

I'm wondering if anyone has any related links in setting this up.

I know enough to assign a cron job, but i'm clueless in writing php commands for such a task.

Any, and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Why does it have to be PHP?
In any case, CURL might help: http://sourceforge.net/projects/curl/
I'm not sure if there's a PHP interface for it or not though.

There are PHP curl interfaces, but it has to be compiled into PHP, perl's CPAN has Net::FTP and Bundle::LWP that can also cover a lot this territory if you know perl
