If file2 is specified using a URL, you can do this the Cocoa way with NSURLDownload, etc.; or you can use the CFStream API (e.g. CFReadStreamCreateForHTTPRequest or CFReadStreamCreateWithFTPURL) if you know that it's a specific kind of URL and you like the stream interface. (However, I've found the CFStream API to be kind of buggy.)
You can also use libcurl, an open-source library that ships with MacOSX. Libcurl is less cocoa-y but is very flexible.
