I don't think you can achieve what you want to without making the user upload the file twice in such cases. If you want to warn the user about clashing filenames you would be better to first copy the file to a unique name (perhaps on the target filesystem) to preserve the upload. Then try and rename the file to the desired target name. If the target file already exists then return a form to the user which asks the confirmation "Overwrite" question. This form will also contain as a hidden field the unique-renamed name, and the desired target name. When this form is submitted to a 3rd page it will peform the rename of the previously uploaded file. Sam
