SET FILE COLLISION UPDATE
COLLISION tells what to do when a file arrives that has the same name as
an existing file. The options are:
BACKUP (default) - Rename the old file to a new, unique name and store
the incoming file under the name it was sent with.
OVERWRITE - Overwrite (replace) the existing file.
APPEND - Append the incoming file to the end of the existing file.
DISCARD - Refuse and/or discard the incoming file.
RENAME - Give the incoming file a unique name.
UPDATE - Accept the incoming file only if it is newer than the existing
file.
Example: SET FILE COLLISION UPDATE
This command needs to be set on the receiving side. If you are
talking to a Kermit SERVER you may use the REMOTE version of the
command.
