This script reads the specified file over FTP and outputs it over HTTP. Thus, you can point WP ALL Import at the URL for this script on your server to provide a "bridge" between FTP and HTTP. This is provided with the hope it will be useful but custom PHP and importing over FTP is not officially supported.
<?php
/*
* Note: Anyone could access your data if they guess this URL. You should remove
* this file from the server after importing or rename it to something "unguessable"
* like 'proxy-24dxfi3.php'. For even better security use an .htaccess rule.
