FTP Overwrite DS

How do I set up FTP to overwrite a dataset? I thought changing the Append to File property to NO would do this. When I try it, I get the following messages:

WARNING-
450 Data set LAYER.DETAIL.FINAL is allocated to another job and is unavailable for STOR command.

Followed by a FATAL-
Error while trying to open connection for sending data to the FTP server, FTP command STOR failed

Does anyone know why it won't overwrite the dataset? It works fine when the file does not exist. But after running once, it won't run again. The job finishes, so it isn't still writing to the file. I just don't know how to fix this. Hopefully someone will be able to help.

That's usually a permissions issue - make sure your ftp user has what it needs to overwrite as well as create target files.

Thanks! We'll check that.
