Feature request for SSH FTP

While uploading a file via SFTP, the file which is being overwritten is
done so in real-time rather than waiting until the transfer has
finished. In other words, if it takes you 60 seconds to upload the new
file, the old file is unusable for a period of 60 seconds. This is a
major problem if the file you are overwriting, for example, is a server
script which is accessed hundreds or thousands of times per minute. Of
course, it's an even bigger problem if the connection is interrupted
mid-transfer.

I suggest that files transferred via SSH should be saved to a temp
folder until the transfer is complete, then only would the original file
be overwritten.
