By using the FTP functions, not fopen (quote from http://php.net/fopen: 
HTTP connections are read-only; you cannot write data or copy files to an 
HTTP resource).

The example on the FTP chapter's intro page http://php.net/ftp 
demonstrates how.

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.
