Rename collision deletes original without warning

#1 Post by LSeww » 2023-07-22 00:39

When renaming a file on client side I accidentally typed a name of an existing one and pressed "enter". The original file disappeared. Is this how it supposed to work or I'm missing something?

It's the standard behavior of the rename() syscall on Unix-like operating system.
