    Hello,

    I'm using the FileUpload Extra in MOD Evolution, Version 1.0 by Michel van de Weterin.

    It is written to not overwrite files which are uploaded with the same filename.

    I need Web Users to upload files with the same file name and so to overwrite existing ones (the files are used at multiple places in the site for download and the client should not have to re-link). I understand the uploaded files also should get 777 as rights.

    Anybody with a hint for this? Would be of great help.

        Hello Susan,
        that seems to be valid for the Revolution version only... Maybe I look into the Revo snippet and try to adapt. Thanks for your reply!
