Hi,
Right now I enforced the file to read in through HTTP-Request and output it to a local file.
Looks like this functioned perfectly after I used append functions after I attempted to write to the file!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this.

I guess I should have suggested a work around in this case.
You will need to create the file locally and then transfer via ftp/scp/etc...
the newly created file to the remote server.
I built an FTP client once with PHP using the built in FTP functions. You will
probably need to do something similar.
