    Hello,

    Yes, we do have a similar, undocumented setting to control that behavior for FTP/S and HTTP/S file uploads.

     

    You can manually enable that option by editing the settings.xml file while the Cerberus UI and service are stopped.

    The file is located at:

    C:\ProgramData\Cerberus LLC\Cerberus FTP Server\settings.xml

     

    You will look for a tag called <noExclusiveWriteLock/>.

    Set that tag to true like this:

    <noExclusiveWriteLock>true</noExclusiveWriteLock>

     

    Setting that flag to to true will allow reading from files while they are open for write access in both the FTP/S protocols and HTTP/S. The setting has no bearing on SSH SFTP connections because the SFTP protocol allows clients to control that setting themselves when opening a file.
