No. File pointers are resources, and resources cannot be stored in the
session.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? By the looks of your example
above you're wanting to remember where you got to in the file? Just pass
the current location to the next page and use fseek to jump there after
you've reopened the file.

Hmm, fseek seems cool, but what about FTP resources? If I open them
with ftp_connect, do I need to fetch all data from FTP again, and then
just trash all data I don't need?
