Hello Forums:

I'm looking for a tool / utility that allows the downloading of a PHP file directly from a website, does such one exist? I recently lost FTP access to my website and I need to retrieve some files for referencing, but I can't download the original copies of the PHP file (As I cannot view source)

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

why dont you ask the host?

if what you want is exist then no one's going to use PHP anymore

I'm sure there is such a thing, BUT as Laler alluded to it would not be an "external" tool. You would need to install it on the web server to make it work. For example a PHP page that lets you navigate the directories and select files to download (of course, it would need to have very good security). However, since you do not have FTP access to upload such a tool, you're still out of luck.

Hopefully you still have telnet, ssh, or sftp access! If so, just login and transfer the files to some other host. If not, I'd have them e-mail you your files, and then promptly find a "real" hosting provider!

did I sounds rude? :D

I see someone who wants to "downloading of a PHP file directly from a website" because of "lost FTP access to my website" is fishy :D

If you really lost ftp while you have no other means to access the server, then I'm sorry for being rude :D

I am with a private webhoster because I get it for free. There was a problem with the FTP server I could not connect to my webspace. I managed to find a copy of the PHP file in my Temp. Internet Files on my hard drive. Problem solved.
