Because Windows is not case sensitive and Unix is. Very easy to fat-finger a filename. I've seen it on my own website when switching from a Windows based server to a Unix based server on a hyperlink to a JPG, for example where the uploaded JPG has a different case to the hyperlink (works under Windows but not Unix).

So I consistently tell my customers a window server is the last option I would ask for, especially when another group is controlling the server and requires multiple layers of help to affect changes. regards Phil Tully Paul Noble wrote: >I don't know if this is your problem or not, but the consultant who >helped us install z/VM and SUSE Linux told us that the installation FTP >server COULD NOT BE ON A WINDOWS SERVER.
