Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/305

When uploading files with the same name already present, the file is not replaced, but instead the uploaded filename is suffixed with the date and time.

For example, uploading index.html, it is renamed to index_200214144111.html if index.html is already present. I expect it to replace the file.

How can this behavior be changed so that same name files get replaced? I couldn't find anything in the Wiki about it.

Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/305 My question seems to be related to the behavior described in issue #138. Basically, I'm asking for file replacement behavior. ------ When uploading files with the same name already present, the file is not replaced, but instead the uploaded filename is suffixed with the date and time.

$override_file_name = false;
to
$override_file_name = true;
at / near line 782
