# Overwrite files by default or set to resume file transfers
overwrite_default=1

This just sets default. It does not mean it does not ask for it anymore,
so no, nothing obvious.

Have you tried changing the value? What happens if you set it to 0

It changes the default. Normaly the default is (I think) skip file. You
get a popup that says: Overwrite, resume, Skip File, Select All and
Deselect All.

Doh! I think that the "allow overwrite" ability is a function of your FTP
Server, not of your FTP client. What are you using as your FTP server? Do
you have something like "AllowOverwrite = off" in it's config file? If so,
try changing it to "AllowOverwrite = on"
