Import to file manager from URL

Permalink
I am making a package for the marketplace, and I'd like to import images from a URL to the file manager.

Is this possible without saving the file to the file system?
(In other words, without using file_put_contents)

For future reference :

Importing a file from a url in Concrete5 can be done with the file helper class.

use \Concrete\Core\File\Importer;
use \Concrete\Core\File\Service\File as FileHelper;


$fileContent = FileHelper::getContents($fileUrl);
if ($fileContent != false) {
    FileHelper::append(FileHelper::getTemporaryDirectory() . '/' . $fileName, $fileContent);
    $importer = new Importer();
    $result = $importer->import(FileHelper::getTemporaryDirectory() . '/' . $fileName, $fileName);
    FileHelper::clear(FileHelper::getTemporaryDirectory() . '/' . $fileName);
}
