Problem with case sensitive links

[Stephen Blackburn]

I have a weird problem with FrontPage - I have published my web site
to my web host, and the links are all mixed up. I saw in this group
that I should have all pages named with all lower cases, so I changed
them to lower case. The problem is when I open the web site in Front
Page, it still shows the htm files as starting with upper case. So
then the links won't work because they don't match. Even though the
same files on my local computer have all lower case (htm files and
their corresponding files). In other words, the file list in FrontPage
(that I will publish to the site) and the actual files on my computer
do not match as far as upper-or-lower case. It's like FP is changing
them as they are opened (and then publishing them that way). I have
tried re-booting my computer, but that didn't work. Thx for help.

Your host is using a UNIX based server where file names are case sensitive.
(i.e. "S" is a different letter than "s".)

That is one reason one should ALWAYS use lower case letters...even if it
works most of the time it may not in the future.

Search the web (or archives of this group) for "Jimco", who has written an
application plugin that can change the case of your file names.

Otherwise, you have to go through and correct them all by hand.

wouldn't a web-wide replace with "search in HTML" do that too?
