upload via url is working but what if the url got a password (like so wont work)

[ryansdistrict]

hi all i got this code that will allow me to transfer any file from any server online to another
that is if there is a file called google.com/picture.jpg i can move that picture to my online server without downloading and re-uploading the file

the code below works perfectly for normal files but i want to transfere a mysql database from 1 server to another by the same method but the problem that the url i want to transfere to the new server is a url found under the control panel thus it is not working because it is password protected
how can modify the code below to fix this problem

<?php
if ($_GET[xfer]) {
if ($_POST[from] == "") {
print "You forgot to enter a url.";
} else {
copy("$_POST[from]", "$_POST[to]");
$size = round((filesize($_POST[to])/1000000), 3);
print "Transfer complete. <br>
<a><a href=\"$_POST[from]\">$_POST[from]</a><br>
<a><a href=\"$_POST[to]\">$_POST[to]</a> : $size MB";
}
} else {
print "<form action=\"$PHP_SELF?xfer=true\" method=post>
from(http://): <input name=from><br>
to(filename): <input name=to><br>
<input type=submit value=\"transload\">";
}
?>

Do you have access to command line on the other server?
You could use a wget or curl command line to get files. I do this all the time and it is how I currently make automated file and database backups for my sites

curl -O http://site.com/path/to/file.ext
Google around on how to use wget or curl if you need more information on them.
