Can any one tell me if/how I can convince ncftp to do this?

If you have it running in the background, you may want to try 'ncftpput'.

I believe its default behavior is to overwrite if the file exists, at
least that is how I'm using it, and it works perfectly.

hope that helps,

"man ncftp" and search for "overwrite"
