Fwrite thro ftp?

[Anon]

Hello,
Sorry for the newbiness of this question.

When I run the following:

<?
$fp = fopen("ftp://[e-mail]/htdocs/deleteMe.txt", 'w');

fwrite($fp, '1');

fclose($fp);
?>

I get this:

Warning: fopen("ftp://[e-mail]/htdocs/deleteMe.txt","w") - No error in c:\program files\nusphere\apache\nsdocs\angle\write.php on line 2

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\program files\nusphere\apache\nsdocs\angle\write.php on line 4

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\program files\nusphere\apache\nsdocs\angle\write.php on line 6

fopen to the ftp works fine, but when I try to read and write...
I've tried using "wb" as an argument to the fopen, same thing happens. I know I have access to the files. Any ideas?

Thank you so very much in advance!

Ted,

I'm not quite sure why you're getting these errors, but since you're using FTP access anyway, it would be pretty trivial to use PHP's many FTP functions rather than the file system functions to accomplish this:

From manual for fopen():

If filename begins with "ftp://" (not case sensitive), an ftp connection to the specified server is opened and a pointer to the requested file is returned. If the server does not support passive mode ftp, this will fail. You can open files for either reading and writing via ftp (but not both simultaneously).

So, may be your server does not support this passive mode FTP. In this case just use FTP function of PHP as Jordan have adviced.
