For URLs like 'http://download.fotolia.com/DownloadContent/1/h7G0bWGsGof8VvSqw32xFZ0KvD5eqbvN',
it requires user login to download.
Then how do I download it remotely via php server if I have the
username and password in hand?

This is a job for Curl. You create a Curl request that sends the login
information to the remote site in the form that it expects (usually via
some sort of post data from a form) and then you can receive the reply
back. You can then form your requests that you need to make for the
rest.

There are some great add-ons for Firefox for this sort of thing, to look
at what data is being sent to and from your browser.

Thanks,

If the authentication style is basic you COULD use the
http://username:password(a)www.host.com/page.xxxxxx
