Are there alternative solutions to working with file permissions and deletions in PHP scripts when safe_mode is enabled?

When safe_mode is enabled in PHP, file permissions and deletions may be restricted, making it challenging to work with files in scripts. One alternative solution is to use the `FTP` functions in PHP to interact with files on the server. By connecting to the server via FTP, you can bypass the restrictions imposed by safe_mode and perform file operations as needed. 

<?php
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_user = "username";
$ftp_pass = "password";

// connect to FTP server
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass);

// check if connection is successful
if ($conn_id && $login_result) {
    // perform file operations using FTP functions
    ftp_put($conn_id, "remote_file.txt", "local_file.txt", FTP_ASCII);

    // close FTP connection
    ftp_close($conn_id);
} else {
    echo "FTP connection failed";
}
?>
