[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-473) Automatically rename uploaded file if destination file already exists

["Michael Jumper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-473?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16311066#comment-16311066 ] 

Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-473:
------------------------------------------

I'm not sure this would be a good thing. When uploading files through some file transfer mechanism, I would normally expect that file to be uploaded without being renamed, replacing the existing remote file if necessary. Ideally, prompting before overwriting would be an improvement, but magically and silently renaming the uploaded file seems to me to violate the [principle of least surprise|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment].

> While uploading file which already exists in the shared drive it doesn't  include 1 or 2 in suffix instead it overwrite the existing file in the shared drive.
