Thanks for the response.

I conclude no overwrite as DropBox shows when the file was uploaded
There is a label that notes the file was uploaded "5 seconds ago"

Waiting an hour and performing the upload again shows the file was
uploaded "1 hour ago"

Also like most management systems after a time the files are tagged with
their upload date and time.

Please also note I have identical performance under regular FTP using Curl.

To be clear upload works no question. It just seems that I can't
determine if the file is being overwritten. It may be I just can't
determine.

If someone can confirm that overwrite is the default behaviour for CURL
and there is no "force overwrite" switch then I'm happy to go on good
faith and worry about any non-overwrite issues later.

Andrew
