Technote Details :: File renaming issues
Issue
When submitting data in a form, which contains a File Field, I get an error message saying: "File upload error: Error Uploading File.File Already Exists."
Products: MX File Upload
Operating System: All.
Server Models: All.
Dreamweaver version: any
Reason
This happens because the file you are trying to upload already exists on the server, and the File Upload server behavior is configured to block upload of existing files
Solution
To solve this issue, you can do one of the following:
Rename the file and upload it again. If a file with the same name does not exist, it will be uploaded successfully.
Open the page containing the form with the file field and edit the File Upload server behavior. In the FILE tab of the user interface set the File renaming property to Automatic renaming or custom renaming instead of Block Upload. When a file that already exists will be uploaded, it will be automatically renamed on the server and stored under a different name.
