Ok, got the solution. Sharing my answer.

$getFile = 'http://url to file/file.csv';
$getParams  = array ();

$path = '/var/save/to/local/path/file_name.csv';
$fp = fopen($path, 'w');
$ch = curl_init($getFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookies');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookies');
$data = curl_exec($ch);

if(fwrite($fp,$data))
{
    return true;
}
else
{
    return false;
}

Thanks all for your help. Reference : http://www.technologyworkshops.net/php/how-to-download-and-save-a-file-to-local-path-using-curl-t132.html

You haven't add any tags like 'php'.'CURL' in my mind is just a linux command. – kidney win Jul 24 '13 at 07:27

You can use curl URL >file_path, curl -o file_path URL, or curl -O URL. The latter command will take the filename from the URL and use it to store the downloaded data.

For example, curl -O https://example.com/search/clothes.html will create a clothes.html file with the data downloaded from https://example.com/search/clothes.html.
