Overwrite existing file not working for FTP

Hi XI Folks,

I am trying not to overwrite the file at receiver - FTP server.

It is getting overwritten though I uncheck 'Overwrite existing file' checkbox in FTP. But the same is working fine for NFS. Please find the config details below.

Receiver communication channel Configuration:

Transport Protocol : FTP

File construction mode: Create

Put File: Use temporary file

Overwrite existing file : Not checked

The file is getting overwritten. Iam in SP15.

Receiver Communication channel Configuration:

Transport Protocol : NFS

File construction mode: Create

Write mode: Use temporary file

Overwrite existing file : Not checked

The file is not getting overwritten. It throws an error in Message monitor with wait status.

Is the "overwrite exist file - checkbox" works only for NFS & not for FTP.

eagerly expecting relevant response,

Kiruthika S

Sasi,

If we have two files with the same name then what do you want to do? It is the same scenario here? If you dont check the overwrite existing file option then it can write the file also. If you check then it will overwrite. If you dont want this then you can add the timestamp to the existing file. Else you have to make sure of the naming conventions of the file.
