Re: How do I use fopen() to overwrite a remote file via ftp?

Hi, the manual page for fopen indicates one can use it with ftp ... "You can open files for either reading or writing via ftp" ... Just trying to figure out how one can properly overwrite files with fopen via ftp, if at all, as I don't want to have to recompile PHP with the FTP functions and use those.
