Check out the IMCE module (http://drupal.org/project/imce). It allows you to specify unique user directories for file uploads.

Hello,

In Drupal 5.9 what happens if two users upload files with the same name? I'm concerned that the second upload might overwrite the first. In my site there is a pretty good chance of this sort of thing happening. In my ideal world the file upload module would use sub-directories for each user, but it doesn't.

If anyone can recommend a good module for file uploads, please let me know.

Thanks. Daniel.

All file upload/attachments that I'm aware of for drupal, will change the file name when a duplicate is detected.

For instance the core upload module will add '_n' to the end of a file name, where n is the next available integer. It is also smart enough to do this before the file name's extension.

For example

http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal.patch http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal_1.patch ......and so on...... http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal_80.patch
