I haven't opened up the transfer area yet on the new system here running 5.9
development branch, but it seems like that automatic renaming would be the
default behavior of the software, e.g., filena~1.zip, etc. Still bringing my
stuff online and unsure if I'd even be able to mod yet. Maybe someone could
confirm current behavior.
