I've got 2 files on a Unix server which I tried to ftp (using FileZilla) to a Windows 7 machine - tdda.png
and TDDA.png
- initially FileZilla complained that TDDA.png
was already a file when I tried to transfer TDDA.png
, so I renamed it to TDDA2.png
before transferring it. I then tried to rename it back to TDDA.png
in Windows and get the notification:
"Do you want to rename 'TDDA2.png to ''tdda(2).png? There is already a file with the same name in this location"
Has Windows 7 got some case-insensitivity built in somewhere? I've never experienced it with any other version of Windows...
