Please understand that none of FTP, SFTP, UNIX cp, mv, scp, tar and
almost every other utility does not provide atomic file level updates
- and this is by design!
If you need atomic updates, YOU have to create them.
There are vendors and applications that do it for you.
Please use them, instead of criticizing tools that were explicitly
not designed to support your use case.
