What you just described is pretty much the entire PURPOSE of
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php

Now that you know that, re-read that, and you'll realize just how easy
this is gonna be. :-)

PS You may find it easier to go ahead and use a local temporary file, just
to use fputcsv() instead of rolling your own. Or not, as rolling your own
CSV writer isn't exactly rocket science.
