Probably what it says: you seem to be trying to move several files to  
the same location.

Well, if _you_ do not know it… 🙂 Can you show code?

Sounds like a Unix problem, and no I do not have an English Linux ☹  
Post some code…

Never mind guys. This communicate is from windows. The issue was  
somewhere else.

Yes, it seems as unix problem. Code is too complicated and too big to  
show it. There is 2 functions which telnet to device and do mv command  
on a file from a process (on the machine) reads. Functions are executed  
one by one after some sleep, so I can’t understand why it causes such  
problems.  
The process on remote machine if trying to list the file and meets  
situation that the file is overwritten by by script at the same time  
should wait, shouldn’t it?
