   //Let's write the first line of our Fairy Tale into our newly created text file
   $ftp->write('test/fairyTale.txt', 'Once upon a time, there was a litte Mermaid, called Arielle');

   //Let's read the fairy tale out of the file, and echo it out.
   $fairyTale = '';
   $ftp->read('test/fairyTale.txt', $fairyTale);
   echo $fairyTale;

   //Let's think of a name for our fairyTale, and rename the file
   $ftp->rename('test/fairyTale.txt', 'test/Arielle.txt');

   //I think you got the idea =)
