    Simple FTP question

    This is a simple question and one that I am just verifying for a customer.

    During an FTP transfer, the file being written on the server isn't first being written to a temp file and then copied to the destination location like PHP would?

    When an FTP transfer is occurring, it is writing to the end file, correct?

    Thanks, I know dumb question but just looking for verification that it isn't using a temp file first...

    Thank you for getting back to me. That is what I thought but for some reason I was doubting myself.

    Thanks
