I am trying to publish from www website to local machine
and I am receiving error:

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

I have never published this website to new PC before and
also the old PC had C drive formatted and everything
reinstalled so website has not been pubished to it either.
How can destination filenames be identical when they did
not exist?

Any suggestions please?
Thanks!

Susan
 
You live site is hosted on a Unix/Linux server where the OS is CaSe
sensitive meaning that Index.htm and index.htm are considered two separate
files, whereas under Windows OS, they are considered to be one and the same
file. So you need to open the live site in FP and check for these naming
issues and then rename one of the files.

You are right and my homepage is index.html and all my
other pages have the extension of htm. I cannot rename my
home page to index.htm--it gives me warning,etc. and if I
continue, it does not take.
 
The issue is that you have one or more files in your site with the same
name, index.htm was just an example for what to look in terms of duplicate
file names.

index.html would only be an issue if you also have a file named Index.html,
etc.
