I have a question that has had me stumped for a bit, I thought about doing this such thing:

I have an account at dropbox, and a file on that account. How would I write a string to that file, ONLINE? Like say it is on the dropbox website, and the contents of the file is the number: 1, how would I write the number: 2 to that file, without downloading it, essentially updating it? I thought about making a temporary file in the program dir, writing to that there, and then using ftp lib to re-upload the file, overwriting the original online. I would really rather not do that. Are there any streamlined methods to this?
