If I try to use fopen to overwrite a file via FTP ...

fopen("ftp://username:password@www.domain.com/system/path/to/file.txt", "w")

... I get a "Warning: File already exists" error and it fails. Is'nt it supposed to overwrite it?

Dupe of #?????

This is intended behaviour.  Read the section of the manual
entitled: Features: Using Remote Files.

As an additional note, I'd suggest using the ftp extension
if you need more control over ftp resources.

Sorry, missed that note. Maybe this could be added to the fopen manual page.
