Here is matei's solution from above as complete function ftp_file_put_contents():

function ftp_file_put_contents($remote_file, $file_string) {

// FTP login details
$ftp_server='my-ftp-server.de'; 
$ftp_user_name='my-username'; 
$ftp_user_pass='my-password';

// Create temporary file
$local_file=fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
fwrite($local_file, $file_string);
rewind($local_file);       

// FTP connection
$ftp_conn=ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

// FTP login
@$login_result=ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); 

// FTP upload
if($login_result) $upload_result=ftp_fput($ftp_conn, $remote_file, $local_file, FTP_ASCII);

// Error handling
if(!$login_result or !$upload_result)
{
    echo('
FTP error: The file could not be written to the FTP server.
');
}

// Close FTP connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);

// Close file handle
fclose($local_file); }


// Function call
ftp_file_put_contents('my-file.txt', 'This text will be written to your text file via FTP.');
