BELUGA BEHR commented on IO-402:
--------------------------------
Thank you kapil, and please vote up this ticket please :)
I think what you have put forward is a different feature, that may have merit
in a different context. I was simply suggesting supplying a flag to over-write
a file if it already exists, not creating a separate file.
> [IO] copyFileToDirectory - Over-Write File

> I came across a small annoyance at work today. I have code that takes a file
> and copies it to a mounted directory on a remote server. I am using
> FileUtils.copyFileToDirectory() to do the move, but it does not have an
> overwrite flag. If something goes wrong with the file transfer over the
> network, and only part of the file is transferred, all subsequent attempts
> are blocked by the fact that the file "already exists." I would like to see
> another overloaded copyFileToDirectory() method with a flag to overwrite the
> file if it already exists. The current behavior is to throw an IoException.
> Thanks!
