When using the Overwrite command the ip buffer will overwrite any existing file on the server In this mode it is suggested to use the Q or 6Q option in the filename to avoid any possible duplication of data where the server has a partial transfer plus a complete transfer of the same information from the ip buffer s reattempt For example if the ip buffer begins transferring channel1 dat 00001234 and the transfer fails the ip buffer will attempt the delivery of channel1 dat 00001234 again the next time The 8 digit hex number is only incremented on a successful delivery When using the Append command there is no easy way to determine when there has been a failed transfer Unless the FTP server can unwind the data on a failure you should use the Overwrite command instead However it is possible to make use of the Data Markers the prefix and suffix to create markers that indicate a transfer was started and completed successfully But your application software has to handle this separately See section 11 10 1 for Data Markers 11 4 2 Tmp File amp Rename mode The Tmp file amp Rename option provides a good interlock mechanism This method is especially useful when your server side data processing works by processing the file and then deleting or archiving the file The ip buffer will work like this e Logs into FTP server e Checks whether the file already ex
