Append performs a file transfer, but does not overwrite the target file.  The semantics of the From/To and Rename File/To commands apply except for the following restrictions.

The ToOne keyword may be used in place of To if you wish to append a series of source files to a single target file.  In this case, the target file may not contain a wildcard.  MaxPerServer must be set to 1 for this work correctly!

The target file may only reside on a standard FTP server.  Appending is not performed on local files or on Beyond FTP servers or clients. 

There is no temporary file.  The information is appended directly to the target file.  If a transfer is interrupted, it may be restarted, but there can be no intervening transfers or appends.  This implies placing Append commands within conditional blocks, and avoiding the ToOne command when transferring in a potentially unstable environment.

When the source file resides on a remote Beyond FTP server, that server will perform the transfer.  A Server_List is allowed only for the target FTP server, and must include only FTP servers.
