Hi,
I think what miladx12 means by 'active/active' is load-balancing in opposition of active/passive which means high-availability.
In your example miladx12, when he will try to update the file, the second user will get an error because the file will be modified since he opened it.

If the first request of the first user goes on FTP server one, all further requests from this first user have to go to the FTP server one.
