DISCUSSION

Some case sensitive servers treat two files with same names and different case as two different files. Like Windows, CuteFTP is not case sensitive and when transferring files, that is uploading or downloading files, it treats two files with the same name and different case as a single file. For example, if you want to upload TEXT.txt file and a text.txt file already exists on the server, then it will treat both the files as same and prompts you to overwrite the text.txt file.
