[Solved] Overwriting files when copying using QFile

[Endless]

Here's a code snippet that works fine provided the destinationFile doesn't exist:
@
QFile destinationFile, sourceFile;
QDir destination("../CopiedFiles");
QString fileName("MyData.dat");
destinationFile.setFileName(destination.filePath(fileName));
sourceFile.setFileName("../MainData/" + fileName);
sourceFile.copy(destinationFile.fileName());
@
Is there any way to overwrite the file automatically, or would I have to go the long way around (checking if the destinationFile exists, and if it does, removing it and then copying)?

As the docs say, QFile::copy() will not overwrite an existing file. It's hardly a "long way around" to delete or rename the file first.

@
if ( !destinationFile.exists() || destinationFile.remove() ) {
if ( !sourceFile.copy(destinationFile.fileName()) )
// Could not copy file
}
else
// Could not remove file
@

But "Remove, Copy" is hardly atomic, how do I ensure other processes, such as the web server never fail to find the file?
