> You can also write to files on an FTP as long you connect as a user
with the correct access rights, and the file doesn't exist already.
To connect as a user other than 'anonymous', you need to specify
the username (and possibly password) within the URL, such as
'ftp://user:[email protected]/path/to/file'. (You can use the
same sort of syntax to access files via HTTP when they require Basic
authentication.)

You might get the idea from the example above to use this
technique to write to a remote log, but as mentioned above, you
can only write to a new file using the URL fopen() wrappers. To
do distributed logging like that, you should take a look at
<A
HREF="function.syslog.html"
><B
CLASS="function"
>syslog()</B
></A
>.
