Daniel:
Ok, good point -- I would have liked to have this example to review.
I'm not sure of the problems I had, because they were a comedy of
errors, but the following is my solution.
If anyone finds anything wrong, or if I have misstated something,
please feel free to comment or correct me. Remember, this works for
me, but perhaps not for others.
Cheers,

/* Virtual Host -- how to create and/or write to file
To open a file for writing requires that you change its permissions to 0777.
If the file is not there, then to create one requires that you change
its parent
directory to 0777 and then create the file.
The following code works for me.

$server= 'ftp.yourdomain.com'; // your domain name
$path = 'httpdocs/read-write/test/'; // path to the folder "test"

$filename = 'my.txt'; // file name
$tpath = $path . $filename; // total path for file
$contents = "This is my text"; // give the file some text
$connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection
$result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass); // login to ftp server
if ((!$connection) || (!$result))

Sounds like it was the decimal (three-bit, incorrect) versus octal
(four bit, correct) chmod(); value after all. Boo-yaa.... and stuff.
Thanks for posting it. I don't know about ya'all, but I hate when
I search the web, find people with the exact problem I'm having, and
there's no solutions posted. It seems to happen any time I search for
the resolution to a problem I just can't figure out.
