It is the FTP server. I used the put command on a different server and it
works just fine.
I will use the ftp_delete before the put when sending to this server.

Hi,
From your description, it sounds like FTPAPI is performing a "PUT"
operation. Is that correct?
If that's the case, then FTPAPI has no control over whether the file
is wiped clean or not. That's up to the server. It sounds like a bug
in your FTP server program.
As a workaround, you could do an FTP_delete() before the FTP_put().
But, according to the FTP standards, you shouldn't have to. A put should
replace the data in the file -- so this is clearly a bug in the BabyFTP
server.
