A:
<?php
file_put_contents('./file.txt', file_get_contents('ftp://server/file.txt'));
?>
The FTP server must support passive mode (ref) and your web server must have allow_url_fopen set in the php.ini (ref).
To give rights use chmod('./file.txt', 0777) or whatever rights you need.

But ... this is for transferring text. I figured the question was about files. ?

I guess it's good for anything -- both file functions are binary safe, I just used a .txt file as an example.

I think you may want PHP's functions for FTP such as ftp_nlist and ftp_nb_get:

I also found this resource which looks like a good tutorial as well as usable code:
