lower case names

[Guest]

I am trying to publish my website to a host. The host will only accept the
index.htm if it is all in lower case.
I saved it in lower case on the harddrive ,however, when I upload it using
FrontPage, it is uploaded as Index.htm not index.htm as it is on the hard
drive and as is required by the host.
The host is rejecting it and I can not update my website because of this
simple naming error.
Can any one help please.



The host is https://www.123-reg.co.uk/secure/

Did you rename it from within FP?

You can rename files on the server from within Frontpage -- in the
"publish" window, click the file name (it will turn to "edit" mode) in the
righthand pane and rename it.

It's weird......

True, there's a restriction with Linux/Unix in that you have to match the
case of the names Unix/Linux thinks Index.htm and index.htm are separate
(that is, *different*) files; but I've never heard of any host forcing all
lowercase file names as you're saying. .

I rename it from FP and from Explorer. In both cases the file name looks
index.htm but when uploaded it get changed ti Index.htm

What's they index page on the server look like?
You might try deleting the one on the server then republish from local to
remote with index.htm (or whatever your host says they want)

Try renaming to index.html, then rename again to index.htm. Changing just
the case will often not work.
