Get appends to file rather then replaces

Question

Hi,

I use the Get command to get a file from the remote server and copy to the local path. If a file with the same name already exists in my local directory it seems to be append the new file to the old one rather then replacing it. The files are XML files.

Has anybody else seen this or know of a way around it?

Thanks

We'll check this out, it could be a bug we've introduced when we implemented resume.

A work around would be to delete the local file if it exists before doing the get.

Confirmed bug - a fix will be in 1.1.3, which we'll release very soon.
