[wp-hackers] easy way to request ftp credentials and use them, when directory to write is not writable?..

[Davit Barbakadze]

"$wp_filesystem supports various different file functions, but the
put_contents() function is the easiest one to understand."

I think both resources still lack a good writeup on other available
functions. Should I for example in all cases get the existing file's
contents before passing them to put_contents() function?
