I figured out how to ftp a string into a remote file using the ftp streams 
wrappers.
the code looks as follows (I leave out the definition of the [error logging] 
callback
PLFTPServerNotifier() the prototype requirements of which can be found in the 
manual):

<?php

$context = stream_context_create(array('ftp' => array('overwrite' => false)));
stream_context_set_params($context, array('notification' => 
'PLFTPServerNotifier'));
$retval  = file_put_contents("ftp://{$ftp_user}:[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:21/{$filename}", $xml, 0, $context);

?>

turns out my upload function is 3 lines long - pretty cool stuff this streams 
functionality :-)
