Moving Files from Servers Using PHP

We have a job submittal workflow set up on our website that allows
people to apply for jobs. I would like to automatically grab the
resumes that are posted off of our website and then move them into a
local file system on our intranet on a daily basis.

The intranet is able to look out at the web server, but the web server
cannot see in past the firewall.

I'm playing around with fopen, but if I grab a pdf file it just
displays the content.

Can I just open and then save the file locally with a new name? I'm
thinking the file type will get hosed in the process (I'll try it
though).

Can anyone shed some light on the best way to proceed?

Also -- Server is running v.4.0.x version of PHP and is NOT compiled to
allow the FTP options to work.

Thanks for any help, and yes, I know I should look for new ISP...
which I'm doing.

Cheers,
Don
