Hi,

I have just discovered that sending files over SFTP with curl can overwrite
existing files on the remote server without any warning.
When I use the following command several times:

curl -T ./localfile -u user:pass sftp://host.domain.com/~/remotefile

it will work each time simply overwriting the remote file regardless what file I
use as the local file.

I use curl version: curl 7.20.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.20.0 OpenSSL/1.0.0
zlib/1.2.1.2 libidn/0.5.6 libssh2/1.2.4

Is there any way to prevent the accidental overwrite from happening?

Thanks,

Tomasz
