Recently when trying to Publish the web from the server
to the hard drive or zip disk, I get the following
message.

You specified identical destination filenames for some of
the files you are trying to copy. Make sure all
destination files have unique filenames and try again.


I cannot determine how to find these filenames with
identical names so I can change the names. Please help.
 
If you think there are a lot, why not just Publish to a new empty web on your hd?

You are probably using a Unix server, filenames on which are CaSe sensitive,
that is Index.htm and index.htm are different files, whereas on Windows they
are the same file.
Open the web in FrontPage and check each folder for filenames that differ in
this manner, and change the name of one of them. Any links to the renamed
files should be adjusted by FP.

These duplicate files are probably different versions of the same file, so
check which one is current.
