Description

In the PutSFTP processor, in the specific case when "Dot Rename = true" and "Conflict Resolution = replace", PutSFTP currently behaves like this:

• if remote filename.txt exists, delete it
• send file to remote as .filename.txt
• rename .filename.txt to filename.txt

This causes filename.txt to not exist on the remote machine while the SFTP transfer is taking place.  This is different than the PutFile processor, which will wait to replace the file until it has written the "dot file".  Is it possible for PutSFTP to behave like this:

• send file to remote as .filename.txt
• if remote filename.txt exists, delete it
• rename .filename.txt to filename.txt
