Re: Strange problems with ftp


You don't have a problem with Linux. You forget that, while Linux
filenames are case-sensitive, Microsoft Windows filenames are not.

You are seeing the effects of Microsoft Windows telling you that, to it,
the filenames "pippo_pippo.php" and "Pippo_Pippo.php" are the same. It
would not matter if your Linux box sent "PiPpO_pIpPo.PhP", /Windows/ would
still make that name into "Pippo_Pippo.php".

You are correct with this, but I forgot to say that I had both
pippo_pippo.php and Pippo_Pippo.php in the same directory on the Windows
webserver, without any problem. Infact my web site worked properly.
Suddenly these problems started to appear a week ago, and this was really
strange and not understandable. But the strange thing is that if I send
pippo_pippo.php and Pippo_Pippo.php by Windows, they arrive different and
stay different. I tried this with more computers with Linux installed, and
the result was the same, pippo_pippo.php and Pippo_Pippo.php arrived like
Pippo_Pippo.php, with SmartFTP on a WIndows machine they arribed like two
different file, pippo_pippo.php and Pippo_Pippo.php.

I am getting crazy.
