Yes, it starts to look dark for you to get this to work.
I'm not sure what tools your web-hotel gives you. If you are lucky, you can
use wget (console program for fetching files).

Then you could use exec("wget http://www.example.net/images/image.png"), this
would save the file on the web-hotel, then you can move the file to your ftp.
I suggest that you try to set wget to save to /tmp, where the web server
should have the rights to save.

To see how wget works, read this page:

Good luck
