5322.0. "ucx ftp lowercase filename problem" by HGOM19::JACKWU () Mon Mar 10 1997 00:32

    Hi,
    
    I donnot know how to solve the following ftp problem.
    
    +-----------+      +---------+
    +  VAX/VMS  +      + UNIX    +
    +           +------+ Remote  +
    +    UCX    +      + TCP/IP  +
    +-----------+      +---------+
     16.157.224.25     16.168.208.2
     
                       FILES: ABCDEF.EXE  abcdef.exe  ABcdef.exe
    
    
        AT UCX:
    
        $ ftp 16.168.208.2
          username:anonmyous
          password:*********
      
    
    If I get a file which is capital filename from UNIX, everything is ok.
    (For example: the filename is ABCDEF.EXE.)
    
    If I get a file which is lowercase or capital-lowercase filename from
    UNIX,
    (For example: the filename are abcdef.exe or ABcdef.exe)
    the UCX will display:    200 PORT command successful.
                             550 ABCDEF.EXE: No such file OR directory.
    
    I donnot know how to solve this problem.
    
    Thanks.

	Jack, This is the expected behaviour: when you don't quote the filename, upper case is transmitted to the Unix host, so the only files you can 'get' would be one in upper case, to get lower case or mixed case files, use quote, eg: ftp> get "MixCaseFile.txt" mixcasefile.txt for obvious reason, the file created locally will always be uppercase. /David - Sydney CSC

Jack,

	This is the expected behaviour:  when you don't quote the filename,
upper case is transmitted to the Unix host, so the only files you can 'get'
would be one in upper case, to get lower case or mixed case files, use
quote, eg:

	ftp> get "MixCaseFile.txt" mixcasefile.txt

for obvious reason, the file created locally will always be uppercase.
