Download php file from server hack

Answer (1 of 2): It is very possible if access to your server via FTP or SSH is compromised, your whole app can in fact be downloaded. But if it is through the browser it might be possible if your server is not correctly configured e.g your PHP files are given an HTML extension and you forgot to. If, for some reason, something goes wrong with your php installation, then it is theoretically possible to download the php file "raw." This, however, is unlikely. If there is an LFI (local file inclusion) vulnerability in this script (or any other dynamic pages on the site), it Reviews: 3. I have tried path traversal, (typing..%2f and.%2f in the address bar since it's a Ubuntu server), but found nothing except for "Requested URL was not found on this server".

Though, if the server is properly configured once should not be able to download PHP files. I recently had the pleasure of patching this in a project I inherited, hence why I know about it. One could directly download PHP scripts by giving the name of the desired script over the $_GET[] which would count. Need to fetch a file from another server with PHP CURL? Yes, it is possible. To download a file with PHP CURL, simply create a file handler with fopen() and pass it into the CURL options.
