Subject: help with overwrite problem

Does anyone know of a way to allow "special" overwrite access for ftp's
anonymous users?  When a failed file transfer results in a partial or empty
file, retries will automaticly fail due to "permission denied (overwrite)"!

  I was hoping there was some way to configure this with the upload command
or class/autogroup features, we don't want to change the overwrite to yes
for generic anonymous, and have virtual ftp hosts that need this for some
of their upload directories.

It would be nice if types (like: real,guest,anonymous) were definable, or
classes were allowed where some commands only allow types, like:

	class  XXXguest  guest,anonymous  *.XXX.com
	overwrite  XXXguest  yes

Maybe, allowing overwrite to be specified as an "upload" command option
would be best, to tie this just to directories.

A last gasp suggestion would be to have "ftpd" re-init some configuration
parameters from a second ftpaccess file setup for the virtual-host site.
