It can be simply done by two PHP functions file_put_contents and file_get_contents.

$urlToImage = 'http://www.example.com/image.gif';
$pathToStore = '/my_folder/my_image.gif';
file_put_contents( $pathToStore, file_get_contents( $urlToImage ) );

It can work if allow_url_fopen configuration directive is set as true.
