writing to a file

ben1234597

When I am trying to write to a file I use this command

$handle = fopen("ftp://user:password@example.com/somefile.txt", "w");

But I get this error
failed to open stream: FTP server reports 550 /wordUp.txt: Permission denied in

I'm thinking the sysadmin just needs to give read write permisions to everyone on that particular file OR is there a way around this.

The username and password that I use for fopen are the same ones i use to login into the ftp site.

Thanks

that thing about "write permission for everyone has to be on" is only for web access on unix computers me thinks, so that the USER apache can access YOUR files..

i just tried the ftp thing and it works without problems for me

your problem may be the directories if you have a homedir named like /users/username/ because you are trying to write to the root of the system when you try to access "site.com/wordup.txt"

use the ftp_pwd command to see if you really are where you should be
