This is the patch which will have this temporary file feature while uploading
FTP files

Use temporary file - Some FTP servers do not allow an existing file 
to be overwritten by a new file with the same name. When this option 
is enabled, the new file will be uploaded with a temporary name. The 
original file is then deleted and the new file is given the original 
file name.

Problem can be observerd when using a bad 3G connection because:

If you upload the file, overwriting the existing one directly and the
connection is lost, you end up in a corrupted file. If you work with the
temporary upload instead, the file is only overwritten in case of a successful
upload. So no corrupted files at all.
