Sure. You can
1) upload the file initially to a temporary holding area.
2) Check to see whether the ultimate destination has a file by that name,
3) If not then move the file from the holding area to the final destination
and terminate.
4) If there is a file by that name then prompt the user to provide a
different filename.
5) If this new filename is available then rename the file and move it &
terminate. Otherwise repeat (4)
