An option to change the prefix from "." to something else might be reasonable. Or you could look at the get_tmpname() function in receiver.c and tweak this line to use some other single character (e.g. ':', '_', or whatever): fnametmp[length++] = '.'; That would allow you to do your copying w/o error at least. If you want to make it longer than a single char, the code would need to change to check if the extra chars would fit w/o overflow. ..wayne..
