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;
}
