ftp_nb_put() stores a local file on the FTP server.
The difference between this function and the ftp_put() is that this function uploads the file asynchronously, so your program can perform other operations while the file is being uploaded.

-
local_filename -
The local file path.
-
mode -

FTP_ASCIIorFTP_BINARY. -
offset -
The position in the remote file to start uploading to.
Return Values
Returns FTP_FAILED or FTP_FINISHED
or FTP_MOREDATA, or false on failure to open the local file.
