Comment (by dd32):

 This patch doesn't deal with the fact that we might be able to alter the
 permissions to allow the write to occur, so we may need to add a `chmod()`
 call in there in the event the check fails.

 > While you're on this I wonder it would be possible to add the isWritable
 check on FTP, so it can't seriously break plugins ( see #29610 )?
 We can keep discussion of that in the respective ticket.
