Serving a file download of a remote file

Dear PHPFreak members,
I have been searching a solution for serving a file download via my website. The file to be downloaded is actually on a remote server.

What i need is a code that serves as a download medium without actually downloading the file to my web server. Something like masking file url :confused:

Can anyone help me with it ???
Have been trying this since days. But no solution till date.

Do you have control on the remote server?
By that, I mean do you have the ability to write PHP scripts on the remote server?

If not, then you can't do it.
