ftpying files with names in capitals from windows

[Amith_2]

Hello guys ,

I need to ftp around 150 files from a folder in windows to HPUNIX. I copy the files to the unix server using the ftp from the windows command prompt. I use mput option to copy all the files.
But all the files are copied to the unix serve in caps.. is there any way to convert these file names to small letters.

Simply use the tolower() function in a loop. ;-)

Amith,
case option in ftp.

Either do a man ftp or go into ftp and type help

Peter,

The case option is available in the unix ftp , but i am ftpying from the windows workstation and there is no "case" option over there.

This is a long time 'defect' in Windows. Windows treats lowercase characters as UPPERCASE in the Windows ftp server as well as other programs. You will need to look for a replacement ftp server program (not ftp client) for the Windows system.
