Unfortunately you seem to have sent the variation that works.
We cannot really tell what is going on unless we can see the
code that fails.
There is one possibility based on the code below...

Consider using triple quoted strings to save yourself a lot of typing
and to make the html easier to read.

Note that there are no parens after close. So you do not execute the
function and the file is not closed.
If you then try to ftp the still open file that could explain the
problems you are having. Whereas if you run this as a separate script
the file will be auto-closed at the end of the script so running the
ftp separately will work..
