How can I download a csv file directly on my server

my task is easy but I can't find anything on the web to help me.

I click on a button on my website, this event execute a php file (by ajax).

In this php file, I want to download a csv files directly on my serveur in the folder /uploads. I have the link of the csv, exemple : www.thewebsite.com/files/yourlastcall.csv

I have access to this folder, and I have all the rights in my /uploads.

So, do you guys know how to achieve this?

Thank you, and sorry for my english, i'm a little frenchy :)

$url = 'http://website.com/linktofile.csv';
$source = file_get_contents($url);
file_put_contents('/path/to/file/newfilename.csv', $source);

Something like this, maybe?

$url = 'http://website.com/linktofile.csv';
$source = file_get_contents($url);
file_put_contents('/path/to/file/newfilename.csv', $source);

Edit: Of course, that's just the PHP part. I'm assuming you know how to make an AJAX call already, in jQuery or similarly.
