Transferring to case sensitive servers 

Some servers are case sensitive and will treat two items with the same name typed in 

different case as two different files. For instance, if you sent a file called TEST.txt to a case 

sensitive server that already had a file called test.txt, you would not be prompted to 

overwrite the destination file, instead the server would keep both files.  If you connect to 

such a site in CuteFTP, CuteFTP will treat the files as the same, unless you change settings 

for the site.
