Open FTP session on the last moment possible

Used to open  fp = open(file_path,'wb') a few lines before it was needed. This shouldn't be too much of a problem but opening and closing it right after eachother keeps the session open for less time and there are less chances on failure.

+Want to go even further and write your backups to an external server?
+You can with this module! Specify the credentials to the server, specify

+automatically write them to the remote server? Simply click on the ‘Test
+SFTP Connection’ button and you will get message telling you if
+everything is OK, or what is wrong!
+
+E-mail on backup failure
+------------------------
+
+#### Stay informed of problems, automatically!
