Is there a program out there that I can install on a server which will automatically download a file via FTP daily? Preferably there is such a program but if not, can a PHP script be written to do the same job? Thanks in advance.

Hello and Welcome to WebamsterWorld!

Yes, you can use the FTP Functions [php.net] and run a cron to do it daily.

eelixduppy, thanks for the quick reply. I am using Apache on Windows, will I still be able to use cron?

Yes, except it's not called a "cron". You have to use the Task Scheduler. It's under programs > accessories > system tools
