You cannot do that in scripting. But you can explicitly remove the file before the upload using the

rm command.

MY apologizes! I do not have permission to overwrite a file, but I do have permission to delete them. I was wondering how I get it to perform the "Press 'Delete' to delete the file and create new one instead of overwriting it."
Thanks

Re: Press 'Delete' to delete the file and create new one instead of overwriting it
I'm not sure what your question is. You seem to try to overwrite a file, for which you do not have write permissions.

Press 'Delete' to delete the file and create new one instead of overwriting it
I'm trying to create a script to automatically upload files to a SFTP site. I want it to upload new copies if the file size if different, or just upload everything new each time. Sorry for all the cleansing I had to do.
The command I'm running is below and this will upload new files fine. But if the file already exists it gives the below error message.
