Net_FTP::get()

Description

This downloads a file from the FTP server to the computer your script runs on.

Parameter

• string $remote_file - The file you'd like to download. This could either be an absolute or relative path to a file (not a directory! see: Net_FTP::getRecursive()).

• string $local_file - The destination you'd like to download the file to (including filename, not directory!). You can specify this with either an absolute path or a path relative to the scripts directory. (Beware: The script directory is determined by the called script, if you use includes!)

• bool $overwrite = false - Whether to overwrite the local file if it exists, or not. if not set the file will not be overwritten.

• int $mode = null - This has to be one of the constants FTP_ASCII or FTP_BINARY. if not specified, the class will try to determine the mode from the file extension (from extensions.ini) or fall back to the standard transfer mode (attribute).

Return value

mixed - true on success, otherwise PEAR::Error.
