I think you will have to use Specify Later in order to set this property
otherwise it will get overwritten when your redeploy or your will get a
deployment error.

You can see it now though and change it if you want. I would suggest using
Specify Later in the long run though.

Just follow these steps:
1. Open BizTalk Explorer
2. Find your send port that was created by your Orchestration
3. Right click, go to Edit
4. Under Transport, go to Primary
5. Transport Type should be File, so click on the Address (URI) field
6. You should a new window and you should see Copy Mode with a drop down
box.
7. Change it to Overwrite
8. Stop and Restart your host

That would work for you.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
