Instead, a dot and a number gets appended to the name of 21the file that would be created, up to filename.100 after which it does not 22create any file. 23 24Note that this is the negated option name documented. You can thus use 25--clobber to enforce the clobbering, even if --remote-header-name is 26specified. 27
