I need Windows Server 2003 folders to allow uploading duplicate file names. An example of a file that would be in this folder is mytest.txt file. Someone would have a newer version but would keep the same file name. I need them to have access to overwrite the existing file without any prompts, and the folder would just let the file go through and overwrite the existing file. Is there a permission that will allow this?

since you want to overwrite then brad would be correct. you do not need shadowcopy for this, just the correct permissions.
If users are copying the files into the folder through the GUI then suppressing the prompt is not possible, unless you use something like Robocopy GUI which may or not be capable of this but is worth looking into. On the other hand, if the files are being copied from a command line then the prompt can be suppressed using the /-y option for copy and xcopy commands.
