overwrite Property

Whether to overwrite the local or remote file.

Syntax

def get_overwrite() -> bool: ...
def set_overwrite(value: bool) -> None: ...

overwrite = property(get_overwrite, set_overwrite)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

When calling download_file, this property determines if local_file should be overwritten if it already exists.

When calling upload_file, this property determines if the remote file should be overwritten if it already exists. If the RenameIfExists configuration setting is enabled, this property is ignored and the server will renamed the newly-uploaded file instead (if necessary).
