TCPIP - FTP lowercase

We are migrating systems from Multinet to TCPIP (5.5 eco1). In Multinet there is a logical that sets all MPUTs to lowercase.
"MULTINET_FTP_LOWERCASE_MPUT" = "TRUE"

Is there a corresponding setting in TCPIP?

Re: TCPIP - FTP lowercase

I don't know of such a setting, but we are running Hunter Goatley's HGFTP in parallel to the standard FTP on another port. And HGFTP has an UNIX like mode (controlled by a logical name) which returns a LS listing the unix does (all lowercase, no version numbers).
See the attached example.

Re: TCPIP - FTP lowercase

Peter, one other 'heads up'.

We used to run TCPWare which had logicals to control directory access on a per FTP account basis. TCP/IP has now such control, and relies completely on ACL's.

Because of this, we also swapped to Hunter's FTP Server, which does support logicals for permissions.

Guess its a feature not in there yet.
