If a file exists on an ftp server and two users both want to download a copy, ftpd takes no special action. Unix, like every other os that supports mutiple processes, has no trouble at all with two (or more) processes reading from the same file.

Hi,
Simple question but I just need to confirm the answer:
If two or more processes attempt to move the same file at exactly the same time, will unix internal file locking allow only one of the processes to access the file?
Many thanks

bup-web
bup-ftp(1) General Commands Manual bup-ftp(1)
NAME
bup-web - Start web server to browse bup repositiory
SYNOPSIS
bup web [[hostname]:port]
DESCRIPTION
bup web starts a web server that can browse bup repositories. The file hierarchy is the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1), bup-ls(1) and
bup-ftp(1).
hostname and port default to 127.0.0.1 and 8080, respectively, and hence bup web will only offer up the web server to locally running
clients. If you'd like to expose the web server to anyone on your network (dangerous!) you can omit the bind address to bind to all avail-
able interfaces: :8080.
EXAMPLE
$ bup web
Serving HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8080...
^C
$ bup web :8080
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0:8080...
^C
