Ok, Assuming that your school server is an *nix system I think I know the
solution.
Apparently fopen () works fine if you just append to an existing file,
but fails if it has to create a new file. So - do you have write
permissions for the directory you place the file in (creating a file
means modifying (i.e. writing to) the directory) ?

If I'm right this won't work as well.
