No you can not. bcp will overwrite the file if it exists.

No, not directly from SQL Server at least. bcp the data into a new file. Then merge the new file into your file using VBScript.

Or just use the DOS copy command ie: COPY File1.txt+file2.txt Newfile.txt

And if you use the DOS way, then you can do it inside SQL Server using xp_cmdshell.
