sftpd allows file creation, but not overwriting existing files on HP-UX
one of our operational systems (linux) pushes files to our server (HPUX) using SFTP.
Sometimes (..) they need to resend an updated version using the same file_name, but the sftp server doesn't allow them to overwrite.
the unix login used for copying has read/write/execute permissions on the target directory, so I assume I need to modify the SFTPD config?
can you point me towards documentation or howto's

What are the permission of the uploaded files?
Having write rights for a directory does not allow you to modify existing files (unless you have right to those files as well). It only enables you to delete them.
SSH daemon on HP-UX supports option SftpUmask which specified the rights newly uploaded files get.
