hello,
I am attempting to create a page that retrieves a text file for updating by the user. I have no problem retireving and placing the contents of a text file within a user form. This idea is that the user then changes some or all of the text and when they push the update button the content of the form overwrites the existing text file.
the problem I am getting is that the code breaks at fopen function. here is my code.
the following is the exact error
I know that the user name and password are right because when i use them on any other ftp manager it works and grants me full permission. Also, I am able to read the file without a problem. I am not very familiar with php's ftp functions so I might be missing something obvious.
Any ideas?
Thank in advance

// set up variables
//open file for writing
$f_handle = fopen('../text/history.txt', 'w+');
