Symptoms

When you attempt to publish from a UNIX server to a server running on a Windows-based operating system, the following error message appears:
The destination Web ignores case. The following pairs of names will conflict:
filename.txt and FileName.txt
No files were copied. Name all files in your Web uniquely and try again.

Cause

UNIX is a case sensitive operating system. For example, mypage.htm and MyPage.htm are completely different files and may exist in the same folder.

Windows-based operating systems are not case sensitive. For example, mypage.htm and MyPage.htm are the same file name and cannot both be published to the same destination.
