FTP Filenames Case Sensitive?

Back

Question:
Are the FTP commands that get and send files case sensitive?

Answer:
The UNIX / Linux filesystem is case-sensitive. The Windows filesystem is case-insensitive. Therefore, filenames in any FTP command sent to an FTP server on a Windows system are case-insensitive, whereas filenames in FTP commands sent to UNIX FTP servers are case sensitive.
