I think it would be useful if one could owerwrite files also in FTP file mode.
For an example, this won't work if the file already exists:

<?php
$fp = fopen('ftp://test:test@localhost/home/test/testfil.bin', 'w+');
fwrite($fp, 'test');
fclose($fp);
?>

As of PHP 5.0 this feature will be available using the ftp context option overwrite set to any non-zero value.

<?php
  $context = stream_context_create();
  stream_context_set_option($context, 'ftp', 'overwrite', 1);

  $fp = fopen('ftp://user:host@remoteserver.com/path/to/file', 'w', false, $context);


?>
