FTP program modul changes index.html in Index.html

[brainstuff]

I am sooo happy ... I have fund a bug in TC!!!!! )) The first in about 100 years!

When I copy a index.html file to a web server he find a old index.html on the server. He ask me replace? I say YES ... and I have 2 index files on the server index.html and Index.html index,html is the old file, Index.html is the new file.

If there is no index.html on the server ... he puts index.html as Index.html on the server.

You should be sad! But don't worry, I know the feeling, too.
But to the point. Where are you trying to copy that file to? A normal disk, a network share or some FTP server? And to be clear, you are saying that when you try to copy "index.html" to that destination, it always gets renamed to "Index.html", right?

brainstuff, it seems that file has name Index.html on your machine so it gets same name in same case on FTP server. You may get two copies on FTP server if it is case-sensitive - in such case index.html and Index.html are different names.

I copy from the local disk to a web page server

No, the source file has the name index.html with i not with I

I check the file, and then TC shows the copy confirm window with Index.html in it as target. Only when I change this he will copy to index.html.

And more: if I accept the setting (Index.html as target) he will ask me if I want to overwrite the existing index.html file. When I give ok ... he do NOT overwrite the index.html but I have then index.html and Index.html on the server.

If you want I can made screeen copys.

Is there a wrong setting in TC?

Do you have the option "show old 8.3 names lowercase" set? Then INDEX.HTML will be shown as Index.html.

[brainstuff]

= voir anciens noms (8,3) ... ?

No this is not set

No, it is INDEX.HTM that will be shown as Index.htm whereas INDEX.HTML will be shown as INDEX.HTML because INDEX.HTML is a 8.4 and not a 8.3 filename.

Not that I can see how it can explain what you are experiencing - but was is your setting in the upload dialog for "Convert file names to lowercase"

And do you ever when you test, this get this dialog:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The file index.html already exists in the target dir, but has different case. The target file will be overwritten on non-UNIX servers!"
[Overwrite] [Overwrite all] [Skip]
[Cancel] [Skip all] [Rename]
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi easy Rider,

I do not find the option "Convert file names to lowercase"

And YES I have the message with the UNIX Server.

I do not find the option "Convert file names to lowercase"

It's in the Upload dialog.

[brainstuff]

No the option convert files in lower case is not set.

For me this means, that he must copy all files "as it" (no change) index.html must become index.html and not Index.html or is this wrong?

[petermad]

that he must copy all files "as it" (no change) index.html must become index.html and not Index.html or is this wrong?

No that's correct, and that is what I experience (no change of file name), so it is peculiar that you end up with Index.html on the server.

What kind of server is it Unix or Windows?

Do you have other FTP-sites you could try and upload to? - to see if it only happens for you with this particular server, or with any server in general?

[brainstuff]

Hi Easy Rider,

It is an unix server. I have fund the problem: it was a wrong .htaccess file.

It was a very crazy issue ... in the root of the server there was no problem to replace index.html with index.html only in some sub-directories ... now we have replaced the .htaccess File and it works fine.

I am soooo sory ... it was not a Totalcommander problem. But I am sure, I WILL FIND, in the next 99 years, ONE !!! real bug in Totalcommander.

(Totalcommander is the only bug free programm that I have ever seen!)

Thank you for your help.
