You can set CuteFTP to automatically change the name of files it transfers.
On the menu bar, go to Tools > Global Options.
Expand Transfer.
Click Rename Rules.
Select this check box and CuteFTP will change the names of transferred files with names that are listed in the large box of the Rename Rules window.
Clear this check box and CuteFTP will not rename any files.
Type the original file name in the text box on the upper left.
Type the desired new file name in the text box on the upper right.
Click Add.
In the large list box, highlight the rule you want to delete.
Click Remove.
The rules are case sensitive.
These rules will apply to all uploads, downloads, and site-to-site transfers.
You can create rules with wildcard masks to change just the extension of several files of the same type. For example, if your .jpg files need the extension in upper case (.JPG) on the server, create the rule:
Rename from |
Rename to |
*.jpg |
*.JPG |
You can create a rule to strip extensions from file names. For instance if you want to transfer a file called "index.htm" as simply "index" add this rule to your list:
Rename from |
Rename to |
index.htm |
index.* |
