Just installed an eval copy of WSFTP Server 6.1, it is up and working smoothly.  We have some customer that we would like to interact with and they need the ability to download files, upload new files, but NOT overwrite an existing file on upload.  In other words, same they download file ABC.doc, make changes to the file, and then upload the changed file, I want to force them to rename their upload to ABCv2.doc, and block their ability to simply upload ABC.doc over the top of existing file.

Can this be done?

THANKS

Brian

A "this is not possible" would be helpful as well if you know that it is not.  It use to be an option in all the FTP servers a long time ago, what happened?

Wouldn't you just remove modify permissions for the user to that folder?

Modify is not one of the options under the the users folder or the virtual folder. There does not seem to be a way to do this in the FTP Server.
