SYMPTOMS
========
After you set the LowercaseFiles registry parameter to either 0 or 1, the FTP
commands to retrieve files behaves in the following manner:
- "GET" is not case sensitive
- "MGET" is case sensitive
CAUSE
=====
The LowercaseFiles (REG_DWORD) parameter is for display purposes only. The
following is an excerpt from Knowledge Base article Q147621, "IIS FTP Service
Registry Parameters":
LowercaseFiles REG_DWORD
Range: 0 or 1 Default:0
Description: CONFIGURABLE
The service uses the native case for file names (like what the file
names are stored in file system). However for exact comparisons with
case-sensitive file systems (NTFS provides an option, FAT is case
insensitive) to work fine, it may be necessary to ensure proper file
names are used. Administrators can turn on this flag to ensure that the
service uses lowercase for such comparisons.
