Transferring to Case-Sensitive Servers

Some case-sensitive servers treat two files with same name but different case as two different files. CuteFTP is not case-sensitive and, when uploading or downloading files, it treats two files with same name and different case as the same file. For example, if you want to upload TEXT.txt file and a text.txt file already exists on the server, then it will see the files as the same and prompt you to overwrite the text.txt file.

To set a site as case sensitive

  1. Display the Site Manager, right-click the Site, then click Properties.

  2. Click the Type tab.

  1. In the Server type list, click Unix-compatible.

  2. Click Connect or OK.
