Hello, does anybody know how I can upload a file from my Apache server to the remote host via PHP? I also have FTP, if that makes any difference. What I want is for when someone goes to my computer (say, http://192.168.1.123/upload.php) it will put a file on the desktop of the computer that accessed it (the computers that are accessing this are running Windows XP)

The reason I ask is because I'm setting up a small network and all of the computers running Windows that have Deepfreeze on them, so files can not be saved. This file isn't always needed, so this is the solution I had in mind.

Thanks everybody!

No you can't put files (except cookies) into the visitor's PC without their permission. I think the best you can do is to provide download links, automatic if you prefer.

PHP & FTP

If every PC has FTP server enabled (it's in IIS), and you (the webserver) has access & the required username, the FTP server can be set to include the user's desktop in it. So you can upload files by using PHP's FTP functions in anytime you like without buggering the user.
