No. But you can delete the files before the upload, cannot you?

Overwrite file question
Hi - I am using a script to PUT a file onto a server which does not allow me to overwrite files but does allow me to PUT new files, delete files, and re-name files. My goal is to replace one or more files that may already exist in the target folder.
After researching the forums for a while it seems one way to implement this is to use RESUMESUPPORT as this will transfer my file to a new file name, delete the existing file, and rename the transferred file from its temporary name to a permanent name.
This mostly works as expected but once I try to transfer the file for the 2nd time I get this message:
Using scripting (via cmd.exe) is there any way to avoid this and force WinSCP to perform a transfer with resume support despite the symlink?
Thanks!

Using scripting (via cmd.exe) is there any way to avoid this and force WinSCP to perform a transfer with resume support despite the symlink?
Thanks!
