replacing files

[jpoma]

Hi all,

My company is looking to deploy Contribute. I've been experimenting with it
and have run into a problem. When a pdf file is uploaded, its file name is
identical to the file name being uploaded. However, if I want to update that
file and keep the same name, it creates a new filename filename_000.pdf rather
than overwriting the existing file, which is what I want it to do.

Any ideas on how I can do this? I.e. what are the edits in contribute to
perform?

Hi! Contribute automatically renames files that have identical filenames
already on the server. This renaming process avoids filename collision without
asking the user to choose another filename when you publish the draft.

A site administrator can use dreamweaver to delete / rename these files.

Alternatively, you can download and localy edit and save the file with the
filename that you want. Then, using FTP, delete the original file from the
server and upload the updated file.
