Are there workarounds for writing data to files on a server with PHP safe mode enabled?

When PHP safe mode is enabled on a server, it restricts the ability to write data to files for security reasons. One workaround is to use the `ftp_put` function to write data to a file on a remote server via FTP. This allows you to bypass the restrictions imposed by PHP safe mode. 

$ftp_server = 'ftp.example.com';
$ftp_username = 'username';
$ftp_password = 'password';
$remote_file = '/path/to/file.txt';
$data = 'Hello, World!';

$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_password);

if ($ftp_conn && $login) {
    $temp = tmpfile();
    fwrite($temp, $data);
    fseek($temp, 0);

    if (ftp_fput($ftp_conn, $remote_file, $temp, FTP_ASCII)) {
        echo 'File uploaded successfully.';
    } else {
        echo 'Failed to upload file.';
    }

    fclose($temp);
    ftp_close($ftp_conn);
} else {
    echo 'Failed to connect to FTP server.';
}
