I'm writing an ftp client script which must run in explorer. My script must be placed on and run from a web server. User can connect through it to a FTP server. If user requests to download a file from FTP server, file is downloaded to web server on which my script is running. How can I transfere downloaded file from web server to client local machine?


So, basically, you want an FTP-to-HTTP gateway? A CGI script which fetches from an FTP site and relays it to the user? That isn't hard at all. Just define the Content-Type appropriately (application/binary if nothing else) and copy the fetched file to the script's stdout.


But as an alternative, I would think it would be easier just to redirect to the FTP site and let IE do the download:

   print "Refresh: 0;URL=ftp://myftp.mysite.com/dir1/dir2/myfile.txt";
