This works, if file exists:

$fp=fopen("file.txt", "w");

This doesn't work if file exists (if file doesn't exist, it works!):

$fp=fopen("ftp://username:password@domain.fi/file.txt", "w");

The error message:

Warning: File already exists in /www/htdocs/test.phtml on line 1

this is a known shortcomming of the ftp implementation
in fopen wrappers (duplicate of another report i can't find right now)

And this exists also in PHP4 latest CVS. (04/07/2000)

We are sorry, but we do not support PHP 3 related problems anymore.
