Two suggestions for FTP

Maybe I am wrong, but it seems that, when uploading to FTP server, VBP deletes files before upload is over. This could be a problem as file is inaccessible for a while.

Another suggestion: can you add another upload logging option to show progress in kilobytes or percent? I think it would be easy to add this, as you can append to output percent value in increments of 10% for example.

Thank you for great product!

The FTP action does not explicitly delete a file before uploading it (but while a file is being uploaded, of course, the file cannot be safely downloaded by someone else [this is just how file systems work and is not specific to VBP]).

We have noted your other request.

Thank you for answer. I am just suggesting that VBP can upload file to some temporary file name, then manually delete old file and rename new file. In that way this problem could be solved.

Thank you for listening!
