Remote file upload with PHP does something wrong with the file

Sorry if I missed a question similar to this one here but I couldn't find answer to this. So I am uploading files from a remote server to my server using the FTP with PHP. Here is my code.

    <?php
    if(isset($_POST['remote'])) {
        $source = $_POST['remote'];
        $filename = time() . ".apk";
        $server = "my_server_address";
        $user_name = "username";
        $password = "password";
        try {
            if(ftp_connect($server)) {
                $connection = ftp_connect($server);
            } else {
                throw new Exception("Could not connect to FTP server");
            }
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            echo $e->getMessage();
        }
        ftp_login($connection, $user_name, $password);
        ftp_put($connection, $filename, $source, FTP_ASCII);
        }
?>
<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="remote">
    <input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

Everything goes fine. I connect to my server successfully and remote file is uploaded successfully too. But when I check the file on my server after the upload completes, it breaks (corrupts).

Please note that I am uploading the APK files of Android apps (with .apk extension) with this method.

Any solution to this? Please help.

.apk files are executable code, so you would want to use FTP_BINARY instead of FTP_ASCII.
