   Allows read access to existing files and creation of new files
   via FTP.  If the server does not support passive mode ftp, the
   connection will fail.
  </para>
  <simpara>
   You can open files for either reading or writing, but not both
   simultaneously.  If the remote file already exists on the ftp
   server and you attempt to open it for writing but have not specified
   the context option <literal>overwrite</literal>, the connection
   will fail.  If you need to overwrite existing files over ftp,
   specify the <literal>overwrite</literal> option in the context
   and open the file for writing.  Alternatively, you can
   use the <link linkend="ref.ftp">FTP extension</link>.
  </simpara>
  <simpara>
   If you have set the <link linkend="ini.from">from</link> directive
   in &php.ini;, then this value will be sent as the anonymous FTP
   password.
